Francis Brooks
Chadwick (1850 - 1943)
was an American painter best known for his landscapes. He studied at
Harvard
and arrived in Paris in 1873. It was Chadwick that would introduce
Sargent
to John's distant cousin Ralph
Wormeley Curtis. Curtis had been a friend of Chadwick's from
Harvard.
In 1880, all three
went off to the
Netherlands to study Frans
Hals. It was on this trip that Sargent probably painted Chadwick.
