Emily Sargent’s Long-Hidden Watercolors Debut at the Met

John Singer Sargent's sister steps into the spotlight.

In 2022, the heirs of John Singer Sargent made a major donation spread across seven museums in the U.S. and the U.K. These works were not by the famed Gilded Age society portraitist, but his younger sister Emily Sargent—an accomplished artist in her own right, being recognized for the first time.

J.M.W. Turner at PG:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=J.M.W.+Turner

J. M. W. Turner’s c.1798–99 self-portrait housed at Tate Britain. This oil-on-canvas painting depicts Turner at about 23 – 24 years old, in a three-quarter, half-length view. His face and upper body are brightly illuminated, emerging from a featureless brown background. Turner portrays himself as a prosperous Georgian gentleman: a dark coat with the collar turned up, layered waistcoats (one silver, one blue), a crisp white shirt, and a tied cravat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._M._W._Turner#/media/File:Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_auto-retrato.jpg
