Brook and Meadow

John Singer Sargent American

Not on view

Watercolor was well suited to Sargent’s fluid painting technique and his longstanding interest in depicting water. Sargent transforms his pigments into a flowing stream with expressive brushstrokes and dashes of blue paint, which ripple across the surface of his composition to suggest the gentle movement of the current.
