John Singer Sargent was an American expatriate artist who was considered the leading portrait painter of his generation because of his elegant evocations of Edwardian-era luxury. In his lifetime, he created around 900 oil paintings and over 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings.

He was born in Florence to American parents and trained in Paris before moving to London, living most of his life in Europe. When an early work he submitted to the Paris Salon, his Portrait of Madame X, resulted in scandal, he departed for England where he continued and blossomed his career as a portrait artist.
