Inhaling the protective aphrodisiac of the smoke of ambergris, this young woman on the fringe of North African society is swathed in a masterfully seductive shroud of colour and Eastern light. Enveloped in the radiant effect of white upon white, this beautifully memorable work reflects the American artist's travels in Tangier and Tetouan. Sargent's portraits are among the nation's most revered, both because of the artist's amazing skill and for his ability to capture on canvas, the character and intelligence of strong women. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 3.125" wide, European style frame is cast in quality designer resin in a deep ebony hue highlighted by a faux mat and a classic, understated border in an antique gold finish. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
