Much of the

Gilded Age . Few of these were as eccentric and interesting as Isabella Stewart
Gardner (1840-1925).
She was
born the daughter of David Stewart, a business owner from New York... | GA | igrkio |

The
painting was exhibited at the The World Columbian Exposition, Chicago, in 1893
along with eight other portraits.
This
portrait was unique -- not entirely -- but among many. Sargent had asked
Alice's parents for permission to paint her, he wasn't asked. John had been
executing a commission for her father, the lawyer and newspaper... | GA | igrkio |
