You can see the canvas resting on the ground, and we know John, himself, was over 6 feet tall, so the original canvas was in excess of 75 inches high. The painting would be cropped on three sides (presumably right, left, and bottom) to complete the final painting image. John
Singer Sargent
Notes
The image of this photo has been reproduced in a number of books, but at the time of this writing I only saw one -- in Stanley Olson's book. If I am reading the photo credits correctly, the photo is with the Fogg Art Museum which is part of the Harvard art museums. This photo is adhered to the verso of page one. Sargent's studio was in Worcester, England. Provenance: Sargent, Emily, and Mrs. Francis Ormond (Owner). Presumably from their brother, the artist, at his death?, Gift to the Fogg Art Museum 1937.
