Morning 1886

"Morning" (1886) by James Tissot, a renowned British artist, is a striking charcoal drawing depicting a woman in a polka-dot dress, carefully carrying a tray laden with breakfast items. The woman's focused expression, her poised posture, and the meticulous detail of the setting suggest the artist's interest in capturing the quiet elegance of everyday life. This drawing, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies Tissot's stylistic exploration of realism during the late 19th century. The charcoal medium contributes to the artwork's delicate and intimate portrayal of a simple moment.
