Evening, also The Ball (c.1885). James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). Oil on canvas. Musée d'Orsay.Tissot depicts a young woman wearing a luxuriant yellow dress, arriving at a society event. The extreme femininity of the main character is emphasised through a skilful interplay of curves. Her wide fan, placed virtually in the centre of the painting, continues the curve of her shoulders. In the bottom left hand corner, her long train forms an impressive rising arabesque. -- source link
