Jungfrau
1870
Painted by the famous portraitist John Singer Sargent when he was just a teenager, this moody sketch captures the majestic Jungfrau mountain—labeled clearly at the bottom—peeking through dark, forested valleys. The cool purples and whites of the snow-capped peak contrast beautifully with the deep, shadowy greens of the foreground, all set against a textured blue paper. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the early travels of a master artist, showing he had a keen eye for dramatic landscapes long before he became famous for his glamorous society portraits.
