C. 1875
John Singer Sargent captures a moment of pure, lazy afternoon bliss in this early study from around 1875. A young figure dozes off in a wide-brimmed white hat, head tilted back in peaceful slumber. Notice how the artist doesn't paint every leaf; instead, he uses quick, energetic brushstrokes to suggest the dappled sunlight and hanging flowers around the sleeper. It’s a snapshot of summer relaxation, painted with the loose, confident flair that would soon make Sargent the most sought-after portraitist of his generation.
