Portrait of Miss L. L. (1864). James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Oil on canvas. Musée d'Orsay.The huge success of the canvas is due to its original and rather mysterious composition (What is the young woman sitting on and who is she to allow herself to be painted this way?), as well as to the astonishing colour scheme, a bright red jacket borrowed from a zouave’s costume and the dull green surroundings. -- source link
