John Singer Sargent - Portraits of the 1890s; Complete Paintings Vol.2

Each work is documented in depth: entries include traditional data about the painting or watercolour; details of the works provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography; a short biography of the sitter; a discussion of the circumstances in which the work was created; and a critical discussion of its subject matter, style, and significance in Sargents career. With very few exceptions, all the works are reproduced in colour. There is also an illustrated inventory of Sargents studio props and accessories and a cross-referenced checklist of the portraits in which they appear.
