I would
very much like to see the portrait of Edwin Booth that Sargeant
painted. It is in the Players [Club] in N.Y.. and Mr. Booth "played" the Springer Opera House
here in Columbus in 1876.
The Players
Club at No. 16
Gramercy Park (1845). is located at the
former home... | GA | igrkio |
 | George Washington Vanderbilt 1890 |
This guy is
a real interesting and eccentric character. He was a supporter of Sargent and commissioned a number of portraits, this being
one of them. In many ways George Vanderbilt defined his generation of what Mark
Twain would call the Gilded Age.
From his
inheritance from his parents he would set out to build the largest private home
in the... | GA | igrkio |
 | Henry Cabot Lodge 1890 |
Lodge began
his career in Congress in 1887, armed with all the confidence that his
distinguished New England ancestry, Harvard education, and wide circle of
influential friends could bestow. A power in the Senate and in the Republican
Party, he was noted for his scorn of the alliance between big business and
corrupt politicians. Close friends... | GA | igrkio |
 | Homer Saint-Gaudens and his Mother 1890 |
Painted in
a barrowed studio in New York on twenty-third street and Lexington Avenue, this
portrait was done in exchange for the sculpted bronze that Saint-Gaudens was
doing of John's sister. The two friends took great pleasure in each of their
assignments.
The unusual
arrangement here begs only one explanation. Though it's not really explained... | GA | igrkio |
 | Joseph Jefferson as Peter Pangloss in George Colman, Jr's "the Heir-In-Law" September 1, 1890 |
There are
two additional paintings which Sargent did of
Jefferson. One was a much smaller oil bust portrait (47 x 38 cm) which John
kept in his collection until his death. A second was done of Jefferson as Rip
Van Winkle and is curently in the collection of University of
Georgia, Georgia Museum of Art

 | La Carmencita 1890 Musee d'Orsay Paris, France |
Carmencita
was apparently an very interesting and colorful character, a highly spirited
Spanish Gypsy Dancer who performed all over Europe and on the east coast of the
United States. Sargent had first met her in 1889 in Paris. When he sees her
again, this time in New York, he talks her into letting him paint her. She
turned out to be a very... | GA | igrkio |
