The Hammock (Le hamac)

James Jacques Joseph Tissot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman in a hammock hanging under a leafy tree. She is reclining with a book in her right hand. She has her eyes closed and looks relaxed, with her hair styled neatly under a feathered hat. She is wearing a long-sleeved dress with lace details. Nearby, there is a wooden stool and an open parasol on the grass. The background has more leafy branches overhead and a grassy area.
