Young Woman with a Black Skirt
John Singer Sargent
early 1880s · Watercolor and graphite on white wove paper · The American Wing
Like many of his contemporaries, Sargent was attracted to Venice and visited the city frequently throughout his life. This watercolor of a young woman in Venetian peasant costume relates to his genre paintings of the period but also reveals his longstanding interest in the exotic.
