By artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), in a Private Collection
Inhaling the protective aphrodisiac of the smoke of ambergris, this young woman on the fringe of North African society is swathed in a masterfully seductive shroud of color and Eastern light. Enveloped in the radiant effect of white upon white, this beautifully memorable work reflects the American artist's travels in Tangier and Tetouan. Sargent's portraits are among the nation's most revered, both because of the artist's amazing skill and for his ability to capture on canvas, the character and intelligence of strong women. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica European style frame is cast in quality designer resin in a deep ebony hue highlighted by a faux mat and a classic, understated border in an antique gold finish.

About the Artist
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)

John Singer Sargent was a painter who was born in America but spent most of his life in Europe. Sargent painted portraits at the height of his fame, but his true passion was landscape painting, watercolor paintings and public art. Sargent was neither new nor revolutionary, but combined the rich and varied styles that were already established into his own style of Realism.

Sargent was born in Florence and was trained by the French school. Although not considered strictly an Impressionist painter, his Monet Painting at the Edge of a Wood painting displays his take on the Impressionist style and technique. Sargent was a favorite painter of Parisians until his infamous painting Madame X caused a minor scandal when it was deemed too erotic and eccentric when exhibited at the 1884 Salon. Between 1877 and 1925, Sargent painted over 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors. His vast oeuvre proves that he traveled the world over, and many exotic and rural destinations inspired a unique landscape painting.
