The artwork titled “The White House” by John Singer Sargent is a watercolor cityscape belonging to the Impressionism movement. This piece, with dimensions of 44.45 x 36.83 cm, is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene and charming scene featuring a white house as its central subject. The composition is enhanced by delicate brush strokes and a soft palette typical of watercolor, which collectively exude an air of subtle elegance. The white house is complemented by a large, leafy tree that casts gentle shadows, suggestive of a sunlit day. There are hints of red and blue that provide depth and interest to the scene, while the textures and tones evoke a sense of peaceful rusticity. The use of light and shadow illustrates Sargent’s mastery, capturing the ephemeral beauty of the moment.
