Mrs Charles Huntington 1898

John Singer Sargent's "Mrs. Charles Huntington" (1898) is a striking portrait of a woman in a dark dress and white collar, standing in a dimly lit room. The painting is characterized by Sargent's signature loose brushwork and dramatic use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and intimacy. The subject's elegant pose and confident gaze suggest a woman of stature and refinement, reflecting the social prominence of the Huntington family. This work, now at the Brooklyn Museum, exemplifies Sargent's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his sitters.
