About the Artwork

Young Woman with a Black Skirt, early 1880s. John Singer Sargent. Watercolor and graphite on white wove paper. Gift of Mrs. Francis Ormond, 1950.
Like many of his contemporaries, Sargent was attracted to Venice and visited the city frequently throughout his life. This watercolor of a young woman in Venetian peasant costume relates to his genre paintings of the period but also reveals his longstanding interest in the exotic.
