The Greatest Living Portrait-Painter. Sir John S. Sargent as Painted by Himself. 1907

For Sale is a Full Page taken from "The Sphere," February 9th, 1907, called "The Greatest Living Portrait-Painter," showing a Print of "Mr. John S. Sargent as Painted by Himself."

This Portrait of Mr. John S. Sargent hangs in the Uffizzi Gallery. The famous gallery originated with the Madici collection, to which numerous additions were made by the Lorraine family. One of its great features is the pictures of artists as painted by themselves, and in the collection are portraits of many English artists, notably of Mr. Holman Hunt and the late Mr. G.F. Watts, the latter's being a particularly interesting composition. Mr. Sargent, though an American by descent, was actually born in Florence (fifty-one years ago), and he received part of his education in Italy. The portraits by which he has made his great name of recent years show an extraordinary sense of strength, and he has the power of bringing out features in his sitter which often surprise the latter's friends.

Condition is Very Good.
