John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was one of the greatest portrait
artists of his time. While he is best known for his powerful
paintings, he largely ceased painting portraits in 1907 and turned
instead to charcoal drawings to satisfy portrait commissions. These
drawn portraits represent a substantial, yet often overlooked, part
of his practice, and they demonstrate the same sense of immediacy,
psychological sensitivity, and mastery of chiaroscuro that animate
Sargent's sitters on canvas. This volume presents over sixty superb
portrait drawings, showcasing sitters famous for their roles in
politics, society, and the arts. It also explores the friendships
and the networks of patronage that underpinned Sargent's practice
as a portrait draftsman in Edwardian Britain and Progressive Era
America.
