A single man, perhaps a sailor, enjoys a pleasure trip with two unchaperoned young women - a picnic hamper and bottles of champagne sit at their feet. It was an image which critics at the time considered 'fast' or risqué. Tissot's paintings were concerned with fashion, society and the interactions between the sexes in London. This print was made after a painting by Tissor, 'On the Thames (How Happy I Could Be with Either?)', now in the Hepworth Wakefield collection. The print is signed ‘J J Tissot’ and dated ‘1876’, lower left.
