Colonel Thomas Edward Vickers 1896

This portrait of Colonel Thomas Edward Vickers, painted in 1896 by American artist John Singer Sargent, showcases Sargent's mastery of portraiture. The work, rendered in oil on canvas, captures Vickers's likeness with remarkable precision, highlighting his distinguished features and penetrating gaze. The dark background and the subtle use of light create a sense of intimacy and gravitas, typical of Sargent's later portraits. The painting, which is now in a private collection, is a testament to Sargent's ability to depict his sitters with both realism and psychological depth.
