More about this artwork

This engrossing portrait, painted by the renowned American artist John Singer Sargent in 1921, captures the essence of Charles Herbert Woodbury, an influential American artist known for his landscape and marine paintings. The painting is a testament to Sargent's mastery of portraiture, showcasing his skilled brushwork and use of light to evoke the personality and inner life of his subject.The portrait features Woodbury dressed in a formal, earth-toned suit with a subtly colorful tie, which provides a touch of vibrancy against the otherwise muted palette. Sargent's technique highlights the textures of Woodbury’s clothing and the soft, diffuse light that illuminates his face, suggesting both the character and the contemplative mood of the sitter. Woodbury's expression is serene yet penetrating, with a hint of a knowing smile, suggesting a man who is both confident and introspective. The background of the painting is understated, focusing all attention on Woodbury’s figure and face.This painting not only serves as a visual record of Charles Herbert Woodbury but also as a striking example of John Singer Sargent’s artistic prowess in capturing the subtleties of human expression and elegance.

Born in Florence to American expatriate parents, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) is considered Europe's leading portrait painter of the Edwardian era. He was educated at both Accademia delle Belle Arti and Paris's École des Beaux Arts. While in Paris, under the guidance of Émile–Auguste Carolus–Duran, a portraitist and muralist, Sargent learned to paint directly from observation without first sketching, employing a fluidity, influenced by the Impressionists. Sargent created more than 2,900 paintings, mainly portraits and landscapes from his travels across the Atlantic, Europe, the Middle East and America.
