방울뱀
John Singer Sargent, famous for his glamorous society portraits, traded his paintbrushes for a pencil to capture this menacing rattlesnake. The sketch shows the reptile coiled and ready to strike, viewed from a dramatic head-on angle that makes its fangs look especially threatening. Sargent's quick, energetic shading brings the creature to life, proving his mastery wasn't limited to capturing the elegance of high-society ladies. It's a fascinating look at the artist's keen observation of the natural world, far removed from the drawing rooms of Europe.
