The Model 1873 - 1884

"The Model" is a watercolor painting by John Singer Sargent, created between 1873 and 1884. The painting depicts a nude female figure from behind, standing in a room with a partially draped red cloth. The subject's pose and the loose, gestural brushstrokes create a sense of intimacy and immediacy, characteristic of Sargent's work. The use of watercolor allows for a luminous and delicate effect, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the fleeting moments of life.
