| 2023-05-08 167 Portrait of Frances Sherborne Ridley Watts (1877), John Singer Sargent; Philadelphia Museum of Art |
| The luiscious skin tones, subtle plays of light, and feathery brushwork found in this painting are what made Sargent one of the most sought-after portraitists of his time. Though born of American parents, the artist spent most of his life in Eutope. This image of his childhood friend, Fanny Watts, was the first by Sargernt to be exhibited at the Paris Salon. |
