About Mrs. Wilton Phipps

“Mrs. Wilton Phipps,” created around 1884 by John Singer Sargent, is an oil on canvas portrait belonging to the Realism art movement. The artwork measures 88.9 by 64.8 cm and is housed in a private collection.

The artwork depicts a poised woman, presumably Mrs. Wilton Phipps, set against a dark, almost black background that contrasts vividly with her light dress and delicate complexion. Her attire is intricate, featuring a white gown with black stripes on the bodice and delicate ruffled sleeves adorned with black ribbons. A choker necklace with a central jewel and a string of pearls accentuate her neck, adding to her elegant appearance. She holds what appear to be flowers at chest level, further contributing to the sophistication and genteel character captured by the artist. The light falls gracefully on her form, highlighting subtle facial features and the fine details of her attire, embodying the precision and meticulousness of the Realism movement.
