Sargent's late watercolor portrait of the wife of his patron Charles Deering is among his most accomplished works in the medium. The sitter's gaze is frank and intelligent, and the handling of the white dress and the loosely indicated setting demonstrates the extraordinary confidence of his watercolor technique.
