FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
The Garden Bench is a beautiful oil on canvas by the French artist Jean James Jacques Joseph Tissot. As he became best known for his stellar career while living in London, James Tissot is highly associated with the Victorian Era. Even though Tissot's work started on an incredible and long series of Faust paintings, and later in his life, he had his Christian faith renewed and worked based on Biblical narratives. It's his pictures of women and social gatherings that became extremely popular during his time. A friend of Degas and Whistler, Tissot's works border on fashion editorial photography, exploring the beauty of dresses, vestments, and clothing in general.
The Garden Bench shows a happy family in a time of leisure sitting on a fancy bench. The original artwork now belongs to a private collection. In the picture, there is a mother along with three youngsters. They may be mother and children, having a good time together. Their expressions are one of happiness, and the light and warm palette Tissot chose for this picture help reinforce this sensation.
At the center of the image, the woman is sitting on a bench covered by a beautiful, luscious black, white, and red carpet. The woman looks at the child on the far-left section of the picture; she wears a beautiful green dress with a floral pattern. Tissot rendered the surface of the clothing and the folds perfectly, one of his trademarks. The child she is looking at, an adorable blond kid who looks towards the viewer. The boy wears light brown clothes and a brown hat as well. He and the woman are holding hands together.
A child lies on her mother's back. The child wears a light green dress with a similar pattern to the woman, creating a pleasant visual continuity between their figures. Behind the bench, a girl with blue garments also faces the audience. She has long dark hair. The scenery around and behind them is full of beautiful flowers, some red, some pink, and some white. The whole image conveys an idea of tenderness and a light, pleasurable mood.
