I've seen
in person in the Armand Hammer collection and was just hoping to find it here
[in Major paintings] . . .
It's a
portrait, but more than a piece of a singular subject, it's an "ode to
red" featuring an... | GA | igrkio |

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.

I've
attached a shot of the museum's title card too. This is a small painting. I've

From: Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums
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 |
 | Violet Paget (Vernon Lee) 1881 |
Vernon Lee, was a pen name for Violet Paget (1856-1935). She was a
childhood friend of John Sargent, after growing up
together they both, it appears, were involved in the same art community. She
was a prolific novelist, essayist and critic, and had written at least one book
about the nature of beauty in Art.
Vernon was
close to John and his... | GA | igrkio |

studying at the Accademia delle

siblings, Violet was the only one to marry and she would have six children (see
Genealogy). She, along with her daughters would be featured in so many of
John's paintings -- really too long to list (in... | GA | igrkio |
