Note du spécialiste

This portrait can be dated to circa 1869-79 on account of the dress and hat. The sitter is not otherwise known but Tissot often drew pencil sketches for his friends that were independent studies in their own right. For another example of a lively pencil portrait see, K. Matyjaszkiewicz, James Tissot, exh. cat. Barbican Art Gallery, 1984, no. 54, p. 109.
