The artwork, named “Isabel Valle”, is a notable painting by John Singer Sargent, created in 1882 using oil on canvas. This distinctive piece of art belongs to the Realism movement, measures 132.1 x 81.3 cm, and is currently held in a private collection. The genre of the artwork is that of a portrait.
The subject of the artwork is a young woman standing with a serene expression and composed posture. She is adorned in a white dress with delicate, slightly ruffled trims and a spectacularly noticeable black ribbon around her neck, accentuated with red roses that bring a striking contrast to her attire. The background is kept subdued with a neutral brown tone, which ensures that the focus remains on the woman, highlighting the subtleties of her form and attire. The painting exemplifies Sargent’s mastery in capturing the finesse of human features and fabric textures, contributing to its realism.
