The early portraits in this book range from private images of Sargent’s family and friends to studies of writers and fellow artists and formal portraits of Parisian celebrities and patrons in France, England, and America. These include his most controversial work, Madame Gautreau, and studies of some of the major artistic figures of the day: Claude Monet, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Ellen Terry in her role as Lady Macbeth.
Each work is catalogued in depth, with a biographical account of the sitter, a discussion of the contemporary context of the painting, and a detailed provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Almost all of the paintings are shown, mostly in color, including some that have never been reproduced before. The fruit of some sixteen years of research, this valuable reference provides a broad and comprehensive view of Sargent’s art.

Store description
Our bookstore is actually a library that receives donations of high value books for us to sell as a means of raising funds for the library. All volumes that are sold are "used". Some are ex-library volumes, some are very gently used from patrons, and some are practically brand new. This will all be specified in the listing, but always feel welcome to reach out and ask questions about the book you have interest in. Thank you!!
