Orphan ca. 1879 James Tissot French Tissot used printmaking to disseminate his painted compositions, in this case, one that he exhibited in London in 1879. Like "The Widower" (2019.282.9), this etching relays a morose scene enveloped by a tangle of vegetation. His companion, Kathleen Newton, and her daughter served as models, as they did repeatedly throughout the late 1870s. Tissot never completed the etching, printing only a small group of trial proofs. We do not know why he abandoned the plate, but a burnishing of the childs head in one impression suggests that he may not have been content with the way the figure had been etched. Orphan 395636

Study in Japanese Costume Robert Frederick Blum (American, 1857-1903). Study in Japanese Costume, ca. 1890-1892. Pastel on thick paper with a mauve/gray textured ground, mounted to paperboard and attached to a wooden strainer, 28 5/16 x 22 3/8 in. (71.9 x 56.8 cm). An advocate for the pastel medium and a leading proponent of japoniste subject matter (employing authentic Japanese costumes and other such details), Robert Blum here combined these interests in a suggestive study of a model wrapped in a voluminous kimono. The freedom with which he described the costume is all the more striking in juxtaposition with the more closely patterned, striated touches he employed in rendering the head.
