Listen to the Story: 9 minutes
Description:
John Singer Sargent was famous for his high society portraits set in elegant rooms like this. Find out why he gave up what he called “a pimp’s profession” and began painting just for his own pleasure, doing landscapes and scenes of his family. His niece Rose-Marie, pictured here, became one of his favorite subjects.
Painted just before World War I, we also find out what happened to them after this peaceful afternoon.
