Tânger
1900
Though trained in the academic style, Emily Sargent breaks free in this delightful 1900 watercolor of Tangier, Morocco. She gives us a rooftop perspective where a handful of pigeons casually hang out on a ledge, ignoring the bustling city of white and ochre buildings rising up the hill behind them. As the talented sister of the famous portrait painter John Singer Sargent, Emily often traveled with him, and her loose, airy brushwork proves she was a master of capturing light and atmosphere in her own right.
