The drawing has writing on the lower right and says (Bartholomy Magagnosco) with some letters and apparently a date. The paper is in very good condition and is a very elegant and realistic drawing from any point of view. Very nice drawing on paper for fans and lovers of John Singer Sargent.

IV.
John Singer Sargent (Florence, January 12, 1856 - April 14, 1925) was an American painter, considered the "most successful portraitist of his generation." 1 2 During his career, he made about 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless charcoal sketches and drawings. His work documents his travels throughout the world, from Venice to Tyrol, Corfu, the Middle East, Montana, Maine and Florida.

His parents were American, but he trained in Paris before moving to London. Sargent enjoyed international applause as a portraitist, though not without some controversy and critical reservations. From the beginning, his work was characterized by remarkable technical ability, particularly his facility for drawing with the brush, which in later years generated both admiration and criticism for its supposed superficiality. The commissioned portraits of him were framed within a classicist style, while the informal studies and sketches of him showed a certain closeness to impressionism. In the last years of his life, Sargent was ambivalent about the formal restrictions of portraiture, devoting much of his effort to wall and outdoor painting. He lived most of his life in Europe.
