About the piece

Painted in 1892, this celebrated portrait of Gertrude Vernon, Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, established John Singer Sargent as the premier society portraitist of his age. The work is famous for the sitter's direct and intelligent gaze, the luminous rendering of her white silk gown, and the sophisticated harmony of the blue and lilac color palette.
