Bellosguardo, Florence

1870-1872

Sargent created this sweeping landscape sketch during his early twenties while traveling through Italy. The drawing captures the terraced hillsides of Bellosguardo, a village overlooking Florence, with loose, energetic strokes that bring the rustic scenery to life. You can even see the artist's own handwritten label 'Bellosguardo' in the bottom right corner, acting like a visual postcard from his grand European tour.
