The painting was "A Girl in an Armchair (The Convalescent.) The detail of the dress, the fuzziness of the model's hair and detail of the furniture was wonderful to look at. Years later when my daughter and I were in Montreal, we went to the art gallery and saw Tissot's painting of a lady in black with yellow chestnut leaves in the background. I have forgotten the title. That painting was huge - about 8 or 10 feet high! Although the lady wore all black, Tissot showed off the folds and ruffles of her clothing - amazing. Two weeks ago I was in California and saw more of Tissot's paintings at the Getty Center. Wonderful!<BR/>Thank you for posting these.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371375811459443941.post-17278789602622795412009-03-05T15:33:00.000+13:002009-03-05T15:33:00.000+13:00Hi Bella,Yes, I love how pensive and dreamy she lo...Hi Bella,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I love how pensive and dreamy she looks, in her rowboat.

I have actually seen the family portrait once before, but I had never heard his name. (Quite a tongue twister, if you ask me!) They are all so beautifully rich and romantic, but I think my favorite is the last one in the rowboat. <BR/><BR/>My big vacuum cleaner just died, and I'm loathe to buy another one when we're going to be leaving Tokyo in just a few months. I'll have to make do with my tiny hand held one for now. Now where's my big poofy dress to go along with it?!Bella Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139728758198482234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371375811459443941.post-68138844356819691542009-03-05T11:57:00.000+13:002009-03-05T11:57:00.000+13:00Oh he is just wonderful.
