john singer sargent 1856-1925

 
 
 
 



John Singer Sargent was staggeringly productive.  Here's a fine example of setting the laundry out into a comprehensible space.  It looks like a fine spring day with forsythias in bloom. 

I think there's a subgenre of laundry images--a lot of Degas women scrubbing, but I'm thinking of laundry drying on a line- and if I'm in trouble trying to draw windows and doors --and I am-- I could get into even deeper trouble devoting myself to images of sunlight cast on laundry drying outside on a sunny day.
