The artwork titled “Maud Coats” by John Singer Sargent, created in 1906, is an oil on canvas portrait belonging to the Realism art movement. The dimensions of this piece are 106.8 by 78.8 centimeters, and it resides in a private collection.
In the artwork, Sargent masterfully captures an elegant figure of a woman adorned in a delicate, white dress with ruffled sleeves and adorned with white floral embellishments. The subject is further accentuated by a vibrant orange sash cinched around her waist, adding a striking contrast to the monochrome palette of her attire. The woman is seated in a poised manner, holding a white flower delicately in her right hand. Her gentle expression and the subtle glow on her face reflect Sargent’s profound ability to infuse life and personality into his portraiture. The background of the piece, softened with dark hues, ensures that the viewer’s focus remains firmly on the subject, epitomizing the realist approach with meticulous attention to detail and texture.
