Mrs. Hugh Hammersley
Oil on canvas • Realism • 205,7 x 115,6cm cm [framed: 232,4 x 133,7 x 12,1 cm] • 1892 • The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Wife of a banker and a fashionable London hostess, Mrs. Hammersley is delicately poised on a French sofa. As mentioned at The Met:
“Her willowy form and candid expression suggest Sargent’s ability to characterize and flatter simultaneously. Her gold-trimmed silk-velvet dress and the sumptuous setting announce his mastery of varied textures and patterns.”
