OIL PAINTING: October, c.1877
In any case, Tissot was a major force in French art, and although he is often lumped with the Realists, by the 1870's that French Impressionist influences were working its way into Tissot's portraits such as the background of "October". That Tissot's art influenced Sargent is quite probable and has even been sited as a possible influence for Sargent's painting of "Madame Edouard Pailleron," 1879
