배 갑판 위의 선원들
circa 1876
Though trained in the strict Academic style, this sketch reveals John Singer Sargent's looser, more observational side long before he became famous for painting high-society elites. Created around 1876, likely during his travels, it captures sailors loafing on a ship's deck with quick, energetic lines. One figure is sprawled out in total relaxation, legs stretched out, while hats are scattered about like a candid snapshot. The brown spots on the aged paper are 'foxing,' or age spots, proving this quick study has survived over a century of salty sea air.
