John Singer Sargent was an American painter who spent most of his career working in Europe. He was influenced by Impressionism and painters like Velázquez and Frans Hals. Sargent worked in many genres including portraiture, landscapes, and murals. His paintings are characterized by the use of many colored lines and dots to depict textures, shadows, and folds in cloth. Shadows are often represented with colors not seen in real life. His style pulled the eye throughout the piece by repeating colors.
