About the Item

En plein soleil. (In the Sunlight). 1881. Etching and drypoint. Tissot 54, Béraldi 45, Wentworth 54. 7 13/16 x 11 1/2 (sheet 11 1/4 x 15). Edition about 100. Mat line and two hinge stains on the upper sheet corners, well outside the image. A rich impression with plate tone printed on laid paper. The plate was included in A portfolio of Autograph Etchings, published by James R. Osgood and Co., Boston, 1881. Impressions from this portfolio are signed in pencil and have the artist's red stamp (Lugt 1545). Housed in a 20 x 15-inch archival mat suitable for your choice of frames. Tissot created a composition based on several photographs. Kathleen Newton, in fact, appears twice in the composition; in the foreground, she is sitting by the closed parasol, together with her eldest child Violet (whose father had been Captain Palliser with whom she had her first affair precipitating the divorce from her husband, Dr. Newton). She is seen again in the left background sitting on the low wall with her child Cecil (whose father might have been Tissot). In the middle-ground under the open Japanese parasol lies Lilian Hervey, Kathleen’s sister’s daughter. Tissot learned the rudiments of printmaking in the 1860s, greatly influenced by Whistler, whom he met in 1859, as well as Degas, Legro, and Seymour Haden. Tissot's most productive period as an etcher was during his English period (1871-1882) when he was settled in London as a consequence of being branded a communard after the Franco-Prussian War. The subject-matter of Tissot's eighty-eight etchings often relates closely to that of his paintings, chronicling the elegant, leisured life of his epoch. Unlike the work of Whistler and Degas, for example, Tissot's etchings were always intended as accurate and finished transcriptions of his paintings rather than as experimental works in an alternative medium. As Michael Justin Wentworth, author of the catalogue raisonne of Tissot's prints, has written: "Tissot was conservative and always kept the finish expected at the Salon and the Academy…But in the iconography and the troubled psychology of his pictures he comes into his own". After the death of Tissot's London mistress and muse, Mrs Newton, the artist ceased to etch and returned to France.
