About the piece
Painted in 1878, this early masterpiece by John Singer Sargent captures a young woman leaning against a gnarled olive tree in Capri. The work showcases Sargent's incredible ability to render dappled sunlight and textural contrast between the rough stone wall, the twisted bark, and the soft tones of the woman's clothing and the distant foliage.
