John Singer Sargent's "Polly Barnard" (1885) is a preparatory study for the artist's renowned painting "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose". This pencil drawing, depicting a young woman's head and shoulders, captures the delicate features and refined beauty of his subject, Polly Barnard, who served as the model for one of the central figures in the larger painting. The quick strokes and loose lines of this study highlight Sargent's mastery of capturing the essence of a subject with effortless grace.
