Hide and Seek, James Jacques Joseph Tissot
My fascination with this painting by Tissot (an underrated painter in my opinion), in not so much the ostensible subjects of the children playing as their mother reads, but the play of light among the wonderfully tactile surfaces and objects in this fascinating space, which is in the artist’s studio.
The original is in the National Gallery of Art, D.C. You can access a high-resolution version here, on the WikiPaintings site.
See my previous post on Tissot.
