천을 두른 인물 by John Singer Sargent

John Singer Sargent, usually known for painting wealthy socialites in silk dresses, shows off his raw drafting skills here. This seated figure, likely a classical muse holding a stylus, is wrapped in heavy drapery that Sargent captures with frantic, energetic lines. The fabric folds look like they were drawn in seconds, yet they convey immense weight and volume. It’s a masterclass in artistic 'shorthand'—proving that sometimes a quick sketch has more life than a finished painting.
