The artwork, titled “View of Capri,” was created by John Singer Sargent in 1878. This oil on board painting, belonging to the Realism art movement, captures a genre painting scene with dimensions of 25.4 by 33.65 centimeters.
The artwork presents a tranquil scene from the island of Capri. It depicts an architectural setting with white-washed walls and structures, possibly chimneys or towers, against a backdrop of hills. A woman stands to the right, poised in a thoughtful stance, gazing into the distance. She wears a traditional dress, highlighted by a pink skirt, which contrasts subtly against the muted, predominantly white and pastel color palette of the surrounding architecture. The artwork exudes a serene and peaceful atmosphere, reflective of the quiet beauty of Capri.
