About the piece
Painted in 1896 by John Singer Sargent, this masterpiece depicts Mrs Carl Meyer and her children in a scene of opulent domesticity. The luminous rendering of the voluminous pink silk dress and the expressive, spontaneous poses exemplify Sargent's virtuoso brushwork and his unique ability to capture both social status and intimate character.
