Miss Flora Priestley was a friend of John Singer Sargent, and her lively personality, striking dark hair and dramatic clothing made her a favourite sitter of the artist. Sargent painted several portraits of Priestley, and this one is painted at the height of his popularity as a portraitist in London. Full of vitality and glamour, the dramatic portrait is characterised by Sargent’s vigorous brush strokes, Priestley’s striking pose, and the bright red flowers at her chest.

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.
