Italian Model
John Singer Sargent
After 1900 · Watercolor and graphite on white wove paper · The American Wing
In this bold composition, Sargent explores the expressive possibilities of the human form in the calculated pose of his model and creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy with his confident, bravura technique. This direct record of a male nude can be associated with the numerous studies Sargent made in connection with his mural projects for the Boston Public Library and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
