Women Approaching c. 1890s

"Women Approaching," created by John Singer Sargent around the 1890s, depicts a scene of three women walking in an interior space. With the use of watercolor, Sargent captures the fleeting moment of the women in a shadowy environment. The viewer can only see the women's silhouettes and the muted colors give the artwork a sense of mystery. Sargent, renowned for his mastery of watercolor, was known for capturing the fleeting moments of his subjects. The piece exemplifies his ability to translate movement and light with subtle yet dynamic brushstrokes, typical of his style.
