The artwork titled “Lady Speyer (Leonora von Stosch)” was created by John Singer Sargent in 1907. Rendered in oil on canvas, this Realist portrait measures 147.3 x 96.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene and poised lady dressed in an elegant, white gown. She is seen holding a violin and a bow, exuding an air of grace and sophistication. The background is richly adorned, amplifying the refined atmosphere of the scene. The lady’s expression is composed and introspective, as if she is immersed in the music she is about to play. Sargent’s mastery is evident in the delicate handling of textures, the play of light on the fabric, and the subtle yet expressive features of the subject, creating a poignant and striking portrait.
