About the piece

Created around 1900, this portrait of Charlotte Cram exemplifies John Singer Sargent's legendary ability to capture the spirit of his subjects through confident, expressive brushstrokes. The girl's delicate features and white dress are brought to life with brilliant highlights, contrasting beautifully against the rich, atmospheric red background and the vibrant yellow of her hair ribbon and silk sash.
