About the piece
Painted in 1880 after Sargent’s travels to North Africa, this masterpiece demonstrates his extraordinary skill in capturing the nuances of light and white fabric. The figure is depicted in a moment of quiet ritual, standing in a starkly elegant interior that emphasizes the luminous quality of her robes and the drifting smoke of ambergris.
