Exhibition of the Works by the Late John S. Sargent, R.A.

About the exhibition

The Royal Academy presented a memorial exhibition of John Singer Sargent’s work in London in 1926. The documented drawings include studies for larger compositions, Venetian subjects and figure studies, with sheets made at different points in the artist’s career. Examples securely identified in the museum’s object histories are John Singer Sargent’s Studies for "Entering the War" [recto] (1918; graphite on wove paper) and John Singer Sargent’s Studies for "Fumee d'Ambre Gris" (1880; graphite on wove paper). The connected works form a partial checklist; exact opening and closing days are not established by this evidence.
