John Singer Sargent
Miss Eden
Dated: 1905

Natasha:

The painting that I would like to see added to your wonderful website is "Miss Eden" painted in 1905. This painting was included in the last 1999 Sargent Show at The National gallery of Art. It is unusual because it is a watercolor done in the formal style of his oils, perhaps the only one he ever did in this style.

Regards,

Jack White

It IS unbelievably beautiful and like Bedouins, 

1905-06, Sargent shows the finesse and delicacy of the facial features in such a difficult medium but still retains the boldness in the rest of the painting -- Nat

Sargent would paint Miss Eden's mother in 1906 and then sketch her again in 1910:
