The artwork titled “Mrs. Gardner in White” was created by John Singer Sargent in 1922. Rendered in watercolor on paper, the piece belongs to the Realism art movement. It measures 43 by 32 centimeters and is a portrait genre work. Currently, it is housed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Fenway Court) in Boston, MA, US.
In the artwork, a seated woman is depicted draped in a voluminous white garment, enveloping her form and partially veiling her head. The background contains muted, warm tones that contrast with the cooler hues of the clothing, creating a striking balance of color. The aqueous medium lends a fluidity to the portrayal, with delicate washes and precise brushstrokes illustrating the exquisite fabric and subtle demeanor of the subject.
