It is with pleasure that we unveil a hitherto unrecorded painting by the highly important anglophile painter James Tissot. The painting was discovered in a private collection and after extensive research and the assistance of Krystyna Matyjaszkiewicz we were able to confirm the works authenticity. The painting dates to between 1860 and 1863 and depicts the subject of a theatrical evening at the home of Prince Napoleon Bonaparte which would be situated today at 18 Avenue Montaigne in Paris and was called the Maison Pompeienne.
