Tissot’s paintings of fashionable Victorian social scenes were extremely popular and brought him celebrity and financial success. However some critics complained that their lack of clear narrative and moral purpose cut across the grain of British art. John Ruskin described them as ‘unhappy mere colour photographs of vulgar society.’ Tissot certainly delighted in fashion and the mores of high society as can be seen in this scene which shows men and women relaxing at an event thought to be the annual regatta at Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
