The Window 

"The Window" is a black and white etching by James Tissot, depicting a woman in profile, resting her chin on her hand, as she looks out of a window. The woman is dressed in a fashionable gown, with a large hat adorned with feathers, suggesting a setting in the late 19th century. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture in the composition, highlighting Tissot’s masterful technique. The artist is best known for his detailed depictions of Parisian society in the late 19th century, and this work exemplifies his mastery of capturing the mood and elegance of the period.
