Figure And Pool
watercolour
13.75" x 21" (34.9 cm x 53.3 cm)


John Singer Sargent (1856 - 1925). Painted 1917. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Although I do not remember thinking about this painting when I did Looking in Water, posted March 21st, the relation is obvious. I had been thinking more Picasso or Matisse. Picasso, Matisse, and Sargent is an interesting combination. If only my painting had lived up to its influences.
