About the piece
Painted in 1879, this iconic work by John Singer Sargent portrays his mentor, the French artist Carolus-Duran. The painting showcases Sargent's early brilliance in capturing both the physical likeness and the confident, sophisticated air of his subject through fluid brushwork and a refined, tonal palette typical of the late 19th-century European style.
