John Singer Sargent's "Katharine Pratt" (1890) is an oil-on-canvas portrait that depicts a young woman dressed in a white gown, her hand resting on her chest. The loose brushstrokes and soft, luminous colors are characteristic of Sargent's style, which emphasizes naturalism and spontaneity. The painting captures a moment of quiet intimacy, with Pratt's gaze directed toward the viewer, inviting a sense of connection. The background, obscured by shadows and a hint of a landscape, suggests a sense of mystery and depth. This work is a fine example of Sargent's masterful portraiture, showcasing his ability to portray both physical beauty and inner character.
