John Singer Sargent

Lady Agnew of Lochnaw

US$ 609.00

Gertrude Agnew leans back in a bergere chair, one arm draped over the side, meeting the viewer’s gaze with a directness that reads as relaxed rather than formal. Sargent painted it quickly and with visibly fluid brushwork, particularly in the white silk and the lilac sash. It was exhibited to acclaim in 1893 and effectively established both his London reputation and hers.

Artist

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was born in Florence to American parents and became the leading society portraitist of his generation on both sides of the Atlantic. After the Madame X scandal drove him from Paris to London, he built a career on portraits of extraordinary technical fluency before largely abandoning the genre for landscape and murals. He worked wet-into-wet at speed, which gives his best portraits their sense of an unrepeatable moment.
