About the piece

Painted in 1907 by John Singer Sargent, this vibrant work depicts fellow artists Wilfrid and Jane de Glehn at the Villa Torlonia in Frascati. Sargent's masterful use of light creates a sense of movement in the splashing fountain and the shimmering white garments of the figures against the lush, deep greens of the garden.
