The first volume of the definitive catalogue raisonné of the works of John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), this book catalogues both the formal and less conventional portraits the artist created during the early part of his career. Subjects include Sargent's family and friends, major artistic figures of the day including Claude Monet, and patrons in France, England and America. Beginning from his student years in Paris in 1874 and ending with his first professional visit to America in 1887, this 278-page volume includes some of Sargent's best-known works.
