The artwork titled “Mrs Edward Goetz” was created by John Singer Sargent around the year 1901. Rendered in oil on canvas, it belongs to the Realism art movement. The portrait, measuring 146 by 105.4 centimeters, currently resides in a private collection.
In the artwork, Mrs. Goetz is depicted seated in an ornate chair, exuding an air of composed dignity. Her demeanor is further accentuated by her elegant attire, which includes a voluminous, white shawl draped over a dark dress, cinched at the waist with a decorative buckle. Her white hair is tastefully styled, and her gentle yet reserved expression suggests a reflective mood. The background, with its subtle tones and classical design, complements the refined composition. The artwork exemplifies Sargent’s masterful technique and ability to capture the character and grace of his subjects.
