The artwork titled “Rosina” is an oil painting on panel created by John Singer Sargent in 1878. This portrait, executed in the style of Impressionism, measures 35.24 by 17.15 centimeters.
The artwork features a female figure, Rosina, depicted in a contemplative pose. She is shown in profile, her head slightly bowed with a gentle expression that suggests introspection. Her dark wavy hair contrasts with the lighter hues of her clothing, creating a striking visual effect. Rosina’s attire is characterized by a loose, white blouse and a flowing, pink skirt, which are rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes typical of the Impressionist movement. The background is a soft blend of muted colors, allowing the central figure to stand out prominently. Subtle details, such as the delicate earrings and the play of light on the fabric, showcase Sargent’s mastery in capturing the nuances of texture and light.
