About the piece

Painted around 1891, this evocative work by John Singer Sargent captures a lone mannikin in a vibrant red costume against the quiet, muted tones of a snow-covered village. The loose, confident brushwork characteristic of Sargent's Impressionist style brings a sense of immediacy and movement to the cold winter scene, likely set in Broadway, Worcestershire.
