About the piece

Painted in 1912, this masterful work by John Singer Sargent captures a woman reclining amidst voluminous white bedding, her head protected by a dark mosquito net. The painting is a virtuoso display of Sargent's signature brushwork, contrasting the graphic, dark frame of the net with the luminous, fluid strokes of the white linens.
