Rosina, Capri 1878

"Rosina, Capri" (1878) by John Singer Sargent captures the essence of a vibrant Italian scene. A young woman, likely Rosina, dances with abandon on a rooftop overlooking the picturesque island of Capri, while another figure sits playing a tambourine. Sargent’s signature loose brushstrokes and light-filled palette evoke a sense of movement and spontaneity, characteristic of his Impressionistic style. The painting is a testament to Sargent's mastery of capturing fleeting moments of life, bringing the beauty and vibrancy of Capri to life.
