team". He was the most preeminent solicitor in London and was Sargent's
solicitor.
George's
second wife was Lady Lewis (nee Elizabeth Eberstadt) whom John painted in 1892.

 | President Woodrow Wilson 1917 |
President
Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) twenty-eighth president of the United

When I saw this in Denver (July 2003) I found it to have an overall
purple tone in the painting evoking, obviously, the wine process. What you can't see very well in
this image are boys turning a large wine press inside the room below and to the
right of the window.
