About Catrherine Vlasto

The artwork is a portrait titled “Catherine Vlasto” created by John Singer Sargent in 1897. This piece belongs to the Realism art movement and was executed using oil on canvas.

The painting portrays a young woman standing by a piano. She is dressed in a white gown with puffed sleeves and a sash tied at the waist, her elegant attire further accentuated by the soft play of light and shadow. With a composed and slightly introspective expression, she gazes contemplatively to her side. Her posture, resting gently against the piano with one hand delicately touching the keys and the other holding sheet music, imbues the scene with a refined grace. The background is kept minimal, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject, highlighting Sargent’s masterful technique in capturing both the physical likeness and the serene poise of the woman.
