Paul Helleu Sketching his Wife
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)
Sargent was a prolific painter who often used the outdoors as his backdrop. He found scenes to paint every place he was living, visiting, traveling, or entertaining guests. Paul Helleu and his wife Alice were on vacation with Sargent in 1889, and this informal portrait is indeed a painting about painting.
