Recently I
received a letter (1999):
My uncle
has just passed away. He was an art collector. I found a painting that is a
John Singer Sargent. It was purchased from the Detroit Institute of Arts in the
early 70's. It is being cleaned at this time. I wanted to know if you might
have an idea to the name of this portrait . . .

In 1883
