More about this artwork

"Mrs. Reubell Seated In Front Of A Screen" is an exquisite watercolor painting by the renowned American artist John Singer Sargent, painted around 1884. This work captures the elegant figure of Mrs. Reubell, who is depicted seated with a relaxed and thoughtful demeanor. Her attire is of the late 19th century fashion, featuring a graceful long dress accented with a dark sash at the waist and fine lace detailing at the cuffs and collar.The background prominently features a folding screen adorned with opulent and dynamic floral motifs, possibly chrysanthemums, painted in a manner that gives them an almost abstract quality. The contrast between the detailed and vibrant screen and the softer, more delicately rendered figure of Mrs. Reubell creates a fascinating interplay, showcasing Sargent's mastery in handling both subjects and backgrounds.The overall ambiance of the painting is one of quiet sophistication and introspection, characteristic of Sargent’s skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the personality and inner life of his sitters.

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.
