Publisher's Synopsis
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), a leading portraitist of his generation, was also a master of the technique of watercolour, working en plein air, and delighting in subjects as varied as the Alps, the architecture if Venice and the flora and fauna of Florida in the US. This book, published on the occasion of an exhibition of some 80 watercolours by Sargent at Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, offers an overview of the important place of watercolours in his work.
