Associated Names
John Singer Sargent

Artist, American, 1856 - 1925

The image depicts a person in a full-body view. The individual is seated, leaning slightly forward with their left arm resting on a surface and their right arm raised to their face. The facial features appear contemplative, with shading that highlights the contours of the face. The hair is styled in loose curls or waves. They are draped in a voluminous garment that wraps around their body, with folds and shadows giving the fabric a sense of depth and weight. The person holds nothing in their hands and wears no visible jewelry. The background is plain paper.
