Sargent Paintings


Book Description

John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) produced works that helped establish the popular image of life among the rich and privileged. Sargent's skill in capturing a sense of aristocratic refinement, the dazzling richness of his brushwork, and his ability to flatter his subjects shine bright throughout this superb card collection. 24 full-color paintings include Oyster Gatherers of Cancale, Madame Gautreau Drinking a Toast, Garden Study of the Vickers Children, Self-Portrait, The Sons of Mrs. Malcolm Forbes, and more. Ready to frame or mail, these fine art cards have been meticulously reproduced at the highest possible standards.
