Two Wine Glasses 1874

John Singer Sargent's "Two Wine Glasses" (1874) is a small-scale oil painting depicting a simple scene of two glasses of wine on a tray, set before a table outside on a sunny day. The scene is framed by a trellis covered in vines, suggesting a peaceful outdoor setting. This work showcases Sargent's early mastery of capturing light and shadow, evident in the way sunlight bathes the table and glasses. The painting's simple composition and intimate subject matter evoke a sense of quiet contemplation, characteristic of Sargent's early works. The painting currently resides in a private collection.
