Tea by James Tissot, 1872 Jigsaw Puzzle

Tissot immersed himself in London's local scene after moving there in 1871, painting for Vanity Fair and genre paintings with a river Thames backdrop.

Tissot's most famous London picture, Bad News (National Museum of Wales, Cardiff), shows a captain and his girlfriend absorbing the news of his impending departure while a companion prepares tea, and the Pool of London appears in the background. This canvas is a repetition of his left-hand portion of that picture. There is a view of the dense urban landscape beyond that stretch of river here. A pencil study for this work was owned by Tissot's friend Degas.

The puzzle comes in a glossy finish on sturdy chipboard backing and includes a reference print to easily put the puzzle together.

  Material:

•   100% chipboard
•   1014 piece options
•   Available in vertical or horizontal orientation
•   Glossy laminated finish
•   Includes reference print for putting the puzzle together

The author died in 1915, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.
