James-Jacques-Joseph Tissot (1836–1902)
ca. 1867-68
Edgar Degas captured his friend and fellow painter James Tissot looking effortlessly cool as he lounges in a studio, casually gripping a cane. The room is packed with artistic clues, most notably a large Japanese-style scene hanging above—a nod to the massive craze for Japanese art in 19th-century Paris known as Japonisme. A smaller framed portrait watches from the wall, while an easel to the right holds a colorful work in progress, making the space feel like a busy creative hub where ideas were constantly swapping.
