The women are Lady
Richmond (wife
of Sir William Blake Richmond, best known for his mosaics in the
chancel
of St Paul's cathedral London) and Jane
de Glehn who also appeared in The
Garden Wall. All the paintings are from the Villa Torre Galli
at
Scandicci on the outskirts of Florence, where Sargent stayed with a
party
of friends during the autumn of 1910.

I just discovered
your site today
and I am thrilled to see I can view [Breakfast In The Loggia]
here
. . . I just saw the original a week ago in Washington D. C. at
Sackler/
Freer Gallery and I know nothing could satisfy me now but the
original.
What I loved was the way it was put under glass. It looked wet
like
he was just completed it. The colors in the ceiling of the patio
were creamy blues and pinks and raw siennas.
