White Ox at Siena 1910

"White Ox at Siena" is a watercolor painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, completed in 1910. Sargent, known for his portraits and landscapes, captures the essence of a white ox standing in a field, its powerful form emphasized by the use of bold brushstrokes and vibrant hues. The loose and gestural style is characteristic of Sargent's work and creates a sense of immediacy, capturing the energy and movement of the animal. The painting, currently in a private collection, is a fine example of Sargent's mastery of watercolor, showcasing his ability to convey both realism and artistic freedom in the medium.
