    JOHN SINGER SARGENT Head of a Young Girl.

    Est: $15,000 - $20,000

    JOHN SINGER SARGENT Head of a Young Girl. Pencil on cream wove paper on tan card stock mount, circa 1875-78. 160x155mm; 6 1/4x6 1/8 inches. Signed in pencil, upper left recto. Sold Sotheby's, London, March 5, 1930, lot 115; L. Crispin Warmington, London; sold Sotheby's, London, March 28, 1972, lot 4; Thomas Agnew & Sons, Ltd., London, with the original label on the frame back; private collection, Philadelphia, thence by descent; private collection, New York. This drawing will be incuded in the forthcoming John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné by Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray, New York. Sargent (1856-1925) was born in Florence, Italy, to American ex-patriates who encouraged his artistic pursuits from a young age. After studying with the German-American artist Carl Welsch in Rome and later at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, he moved to Paris to train with the renowned portraitist Carolus-Duran (1837-1917). In addition to studying with Carolus-Duran, as well as Léon Bonnat (1833-1922), Sargent enrolled in the École des Beaux-Arts in 1874, where he studied drawing, with an emphasis on anatomy and perspective. Training in both a traditional academic setting and the progressive atelier of Carolus-Duran, which encouraged use of the alla prima method of applying oil paint to a previously-painted wet surface, Sargent developed a painterly style known for its characteristic flourishes of color. This freer approach to formal rendering, in which gestural bruststrokes and strong colors present a momentary impression of the artist's initial perception, also persists in his drawings. These characteristics are manifest in the current lot. The subject is depicted frontal, her face sensitively modeled with pale tones and subtle shading. Her hair is sketched with sure pencil strokes that create sharp contrasts of dark areas against bright highlights, and the bow worn around her neck is similar in appearance to those worn by the subjects in Sargent's Harriet Louise Warren, 1877, and Emily Sargent, 1877. Sargent's free and gestural use of line and shading captures the fleeting appearance, as well as the inner emotional state, of the sitter.

    John Singer Sargent In The Metropolitan Museum of Art Author: Weinberg/Herdrich Illustrations Color Plates Dated: 2000 Pages 64 Publisher: MET Edition: 1st Size: 4to Binding Trade Wraps Type: Art American Subject: John Singer Sargent Notes & Literature John Singer Sargent; January 12, 1856 – April 14, 1925) was an American artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian era luxury. During his career, he created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. His oeuvre documents worldwide travel, from Venice to the Tyrol, Corfu, the Middle East, Montana, Maine, and Florida. His parents were American, but he was trained in Paris prior to moving to London. Sargent enjoyed international acclaim as a portrait painter, although not without controversy and some critical reservation; an early submission to the Paris Salon, his Portrait of Madame X, was intended to consolidate his position as a society painter, but it resulted in scandal instead. From the beginning his work was characterized by remarkable technical facility, particularly in his ability to draw with a brush, which in later years inspired admiration as well as criticism for a supposed superficiality. His commissioned works were consistent with the grand manner of portraiture, while his informal studies and landscape paintings displayed a familiarity with Impressionism. In later life Sargent expressed ambivalence about the restrictions of formal portrait work, and devoted much of his energy to mural painting and working en plein air. He lived most of his life in Europe. Art historians generally ignored the society artists such as Sargent until the late 20th century Condition Report Sargent marked on cover else very good Subject References: Paintings History
