The Last Evening is an 1873 oil painting by the French artist James Tissot. It shows a scene set aboard a ship, but it is unclear exactly the context or relationship of the various figures.[1] It has occasionally been confused with another painting Tissot produced that year The Captain's Daughter.[2]
The painting was produced during the period that Tissot relocated to Britain following the Franco-Prussian War. It was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1873 held at Burlington House in Piccadilly. It was subsequently acquired by the art collector Charles Gassiot who donated it to the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London in 1902.[3]
