1908
John Singer Sargent, famous for his glamorous high-society portraits, takes a quirky detour here to capture two women trapped inside giant, cage-like mosquito nets while lounging on a vibrant red sofa. Painted in 1908, the scene feels both claustrophobic and cozy, as the figures in heavy dark dresses completely ignore their bizarre headgear—one engrossed in a book, the other seemingly dozing off. It’s a fascinating, slightly humorous glimpse into the uncomfortable realities of Edwardian travel, proving that even the elite had to battle pesky bugs in style.
