More about this artwork

"Lady with a Parasol" (1900-1901) by John Singer Sargent is an enchanting watercolor painting that effortlessly captures the essence of a serene moment. This depiction showcases a young lady reclined in what appears to be a sun-drenched garden, shielded from the gentle warmth of the sun by a large white parasol.Sargent’s mastery in watercolor technique is vividly illustrated through the fluidity and transparency of the strokes that define the folds of the lady's flowing white dress. Bright touches of blue and green hint at a vibrant sash and possibly lush vegetation in the background, contributing to a sense of coolness against the diffuse light.Her face, elegantly framed by the brim of a wide hat, is rendered with minimal strokes, yet Sargent’s skill ensures the lady's thoughtful expression is poignantly communicated. As she leans back, seemingly at ease, her posture and the angle of the parasol foster a moment of quiet contemplation.This painting is a beautiful example of Sargent's skill in capturing not only the physical but also the ephemeral, fleeting quality of a peaceful moment in nature—a testament to why he remains one of the revered figures in American art.

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.
