The artwork, titled “Mrs. Newton with a child by a pool,” was painted by the artist James Tissot. Created using oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Impressionism movement and is categorized within the genre painting category. Measuring 50.7 x 43.2 cm, the artwork is currently held in a private collection.
In the artwork, a woman, presumably Mrs. Newton, is reclining by the edge of a pool, positioned on a blanket or rug with a child. She is dressed in a light, elegant dress and a broad-brimmed hat adorned with a decorative bow, which casts a shadow over her face, adding to the serene ambiance. The child, garbed in a light outfit, is nestled closely beside her, exuding a sense of intimacy and maternal affection. The background reveals a tranquil pool with reflections of surrounding greenery, likely part of a garden or park. The impressionistic brushstrokes provide a soft focus, evoking a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
