John Singer Sargent

Reapers Resting in a Wheat Field, by John Singer Sargent, 1885
This is a painting showing two people in nature. The person on the left appears to be running towards the right, with one leg in the air and their arms outstretched. They have tan, golden-toned skin, blond hair, and golden fabric draped loosely around them, billowing backward as they run. On the right is a pale person standing upright in a tree, their arms outstretched. They appear intertwined with the tree, with their feet nestled in the light brown trunk and their head and hands covered in olive-green leaves. The background features indistinct brown shapes against a clear blue sky.
In the Generalife, by John Singer Sargent, 1912
Madame X (Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau), by John Singer Sargent, 1883–84
