About the piece

Painted in 1904, this work exemplifies John Singer Sargent's masterful use of light and loose, confident brushwork. It depicts an artist—likely Sargent’s friend Ambrogio Raffele—working in a cramped hotel room converted into a temporary studio, where the white linens of the bed contrast beautifully with the warm, earthy tones of the room.
