Two Girls with Parasols

Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925)

Date: 1888

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Beginning in 1885, Sargent often visited Claude Monet at his home in the French village of Giverny, and he was inspired, over the next few years, to create Impressionist landscapes, boating scenes, and figure subjects. This unfinished canvas, which he painted at Calcot Mill in England’s Berkshire countryside, reflects the French master’s influence. It depicts the artist’s sister Violet, in the foreground, and a friend during a walk in the country. Sargent’s spontaneous technique and rapid brushwork are evident in the summary rendering of faces and forms and the fleeting effects of dappled light.

Dennis Miller Bunker Painting at Calcot John Singer Sargent 1888 John Singer Sargent’s Dennis Miller Bunker Painting at Calcot shows a painter at work. Sargent painted this scene in the rapidly applied distinct strokes of strong color typical of impressionism. The surface of his painting, like the image it presents, is a tactile record of the open-air painting process that progressive American artists, who were following the example of Sargent's friend, Claude Monet. Sargent painted this work at rural Calcot Mill, about an hour’s train ride west from London, in the summer of 1888. Dennis Miller Bunker was invited to stay with him in the English countryside. At Calcot, the two artists experimented with painting outdoors, working directly on the canvas to capture transient effects of natural light and color. On their painting excursions they were often accompanied by Sargent’s younger sister Violet, the woman depicted here, with whom Bunker may have formed a romantic attachment.
