EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Femme a Paris: Political Woman, 1885" by James Jacques Joseph Tissot showcases the elegance and allure of society life in 19th century Paris. The etching and drypoint on laid paper beautifully depict a scene from a glamorous soiree or ball, where men and women gather to engage in politics and socialize. The focal point of the image is a stunning woman dressed in an exquisite gown, her ruffled fan held delicately in hand. Her gaze is fixed upon something or someone, perhaps observing the political discussions taking place around her. With her tiered dress and impeccable fashion sense, she embodies both beauty and power. Tissot's attention to detail is evident as he captures the intricate folds of fabric and the intricate design of her gown. The artist skillfully portrays not only the external appearance but also hints at the inner desires that lie beneath this elegant facade. Set against a backdrop of opulent surroundings filled with other elegantly attired individuals, this artwork transports us back to an era known as Belle Époque - a time when art, fashion, and politics intertwined seamlessly. Through this printmaking masterpiece, Tissot invites us to step into his world - one filled with glamour, intrigue, and societal expectations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such grandeur lies hidden stories waiting to be discovered.
