Additional Information

This piece was Sargent’s first large portrait of a man. His sitter was Dr Samuel Jean de Pozzi, a gynaecologist and art collector. A pioneer of safer practices for women’s health in France, Dr Pozzi was greatly admired by the artist. Sargent chose a radically different approach from traditional doctors portraits, painting Pozzi at home, wearing a striking scarlet dressing gown and white frilled shirt, against a matching red velvet curtained background. Painted in Paris, it was first exhibited in 1882 at the Royal Academy in London.

American painter John Singer Sargent was considered the most fashionable portrait painter working in England and the USA in the late 19th century. During his early career in 1880s he was influenced by his friend Monet towards Impressionism, but by the 1890s had success with society portraits. After 1900 Sargent spent his summers on long sketching holidays and shocked social circles when he decided to give up portraiture in favour of landscapes. In 1918 he worked as a war artist and from 1890 until c. 1925 he painted murals for Boston Library and Museum.
