More about this artwork

We are delighted to showcase "Nonchaloir (Repose)," a masterful painting completed in 1911 by the renowned artist John Singer Sargent. This painting captures the image of a woman in a moment of serene relaxation. Draped luxuriously across a sofa, her peaceful repose is emphasized by her loosely fitted white robe and the casual fall of the richly decorated fabric beneath her. The soft, atmospheric handling of light accentuates the contours of her relaxed posture and the textures of her surroundings.Sargent's skillful use of brushwork is evident in the way the light touches the various surfaces, from the glossy sheen on the wooden mantelpiece to the silky folds of the fabric. The interplay of shadows and light not only highlights the physical beauty of the scene but also evokes a sense of tranquility.In "Nonchaloir (Repose)," Sargent invites the viewer to pause and admire a fleeting moment of quietude, suggesting a narrative of introspection and ease. It is a testament to Sargent’s ability to convey complex emotions through subtle gestures and environments.

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.
