 | Venetian Interior 1880-82 | 
This is a
good example of John's use of light in a picture. Notice the way it filters in
from an unseen doorway at frame right, the light at the far end, as well as how
light and shadows manifest themselves on the different figures.

I spent ten
days in Venice in January, 2005,
[and took the photo below].
Campo Sant' Agnese is still there and still looks remarkably like the
painting. You can stand, or sit, right where Mr. Sargent did.
Please
enjoy them, I like your website very much.

 | Venetian Water Carriers c. 1880, 1882 Worcester Art Museum Worcester, MA |
From: Worcester Art Museum
Although
seemingly informal, if not spontaneous, in both design and execution, Venetian
Water Carriers is actually carefully conceived. Within a composition centered
around rectangular forms (the door and its frame, the well and its base),
Sargent subtly balanced the figure of the woman straining to carry a pail... | GA | igrkio |

I've seen
in person in the Armand Hammer collection and was just hoping to find it here

It's a
portrait, but more than a piece of a singular subject, it's an "ode to

 | Femme avec Fourrures (Woman with Furs) c. 1880-1885 Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute Williamstown, MA |
At one
point it was thought that the person Sargent gave
this to (D. Vergeses) was the subject but it was
later believed that it probbaly wasn't.

 | Miss Poppy Graeme 1881 |
This same
year Sargent painted Robert
Farquharson. According to Charles Merrill Mount, the painting is also
inscribed: "To my friend Mr. Farquharson", 24 x 20 ½ , and as
of the 1950's the painting was held with the family.

The sitter
was the older brother of Joseph Farquharson RA who
was a friend of John Singer Sargent. This dashing
portrait illustrates very clearly Sargent's bold use
of brushwork and limited palette. Robert Farquharson
was laird of Finzean near Banchory
and also the member of Parliament for West... | GA | igrkio |
