Senator Calvin Brice 1898

John Singer Sargent's "Senator Calvin Brice" is a striking portrait painted in 1898. The painting depicts Senator Brice in a formal pose, standing against a dark background with a gloved hand resting on his watch chain. Sargent's characteristic bold brushstrokes and realistic depiction of the senator's features lend a sense of both power and elegance to the work. "Senator Calvin Brice" is currently located at the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) in Oberlin, Ohio and is a fine example of Sargent's mastery of portraiture during the late 19th century.
