Portrait of Jean Joseph Marie Carries copy after John Singer Sargent (click here to bid on this painting)

Portrait of Jean Joseph Marie Carries copy after John Singer Sargent
Oil - 14 x 11"
This was a demonstration for a student and has the quality of spontaneity of a work done in one sitting, all at once - "alla prima". It is a copy of a work by John Singer Sargent, his portrait of Jean Joseph Marie Carries. In the original Sargent signed his name along withe sitter's on the top of the canvas (with the back of the brush) and I likewise signed my copy with "Mosley a/Sargent" in the upper right.
