Dorothy 1900

"Dorothy" is a portrait of a young girl, painted in 1900 by American artist John Singer Sargent. This oil painting captures a moment of childhood innocence, as the subject sits with a serious expression, holding onto the arm of a chair. The girl's white dress and elaborate hat contrast with the deep red background, highlighting her youthful features. Sargent is known for his masterful handling of paint, achieving a sense of realism and vibrancy in his portraits, which contributed to his popularity among the wealthy and fashionable during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
