Granada
1912
Sunlight spills across a sun-baked terrace in Granada, casting deep, cool shadows against the warm white walls and vibrant green urns. Emily Sargent, often overshadowed by her famous brother John Singer Sargent, captures the lush Mediterranean foliage with loose, energetic brushstrokes that make the leaves practically rustle in the breeze. Painted in 1912 during her travels, this piece showcases her impressive ability to translate the intense light and heat of Spain onto paper, proving she was a formidable talent in her own right.
