John Singer Sargent’s Mrs. Carl Meyer and Her Children
(Friday) — (Sunday)
John Singer Sargent’s magisterial painting, Mrs. Carl Meyer and her Children of 1896, depicts Adele Meyer with her children Elise Charlotte and Frank Cecil. This remarkable work of art is one of Sargent’s most beloved portraits. When it was first shown at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1897 it was both praised and disparaged. Henry James reviewed the painting in Harper’s Weekly writing, “Of these elements Mr. Sargent has made a picture of a knock-down insolence of talent and truth of characterization, a wonderful rendering of life, of manners, of aspects, of types, of textures, of everything.”
