This beautifully produced little volume provides an overview of the work of John Singer Sargent, supplemented by a brief biography of the painter.
Although tiny in format -- the booklet is only 4" x 5", it's packed with 65 high-quality color reproductions of the artist's best-known works, along with 8 pencil or charcoal sketches done as studies for more formal pieces.
