"Portrait of Alphonse Tissie" is an 1868 oil on canvas painting by the French Impressionist painter Jean Frédéric Bazille. The work is a representation of Alphonse Tissie, a friend of Bazille's from Montpellier, and it exemplifies the artist's early exploration into the genre of portraiture. Measuring 29 x 20 cm, this small-scale portrait is noted for its intimate scale and the direct gaze of the sitter, which engages the viewer.

Bazille, who was born in Montpellier in 1841, moved to Paris in 1862 to study medicine but soon devoted himself entirely to painting. He became a central figure in the Impressionist movement, and his studio was a gathering place for other prominent artists such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. Bazille's work is characterized by a vibrant palette, a keen sense of light, and a distinctive brushwork that would come to be associated with the Impressionist style.

The "Portrait of Alphonse Tissie" is particularly significant as it was created during a formative period in Bazille's career, just a few years before his untimely death in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. The painting reveals Bazille's interest in capturing the personality and mood of his subject through a realistic yet expressive approach. The portrait is also an important document of the artist's social circle and the intellectual environment of the time.

While Bazille is less well-known than some of his contemporaries, his contributions to the development of Impressionism are increasingly recognized, and his portraits, including that of Alphonse Tissie, are appreciated for their technical skill and emotional depth. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various retrospectives of Bazille's work, contributing to the understanding of the artist's brief but impactful career.
