About this artwork
This is a sketch by John Singer Sargent, dated 1877, and the title tells us it was made in preparation for his "Oyster Gatherers of Cancale". It shows a girl on a beach, a subject drawn from the Breton coast, where the artist was working that year. Studies like this give a closer look at how a painter gathers ideas for a bigger composition, with the figure observed on its own before it finds a place in the finished scene. The work is now in the Terra Foundation for American Art.
On your wall: Its seaside subject suits a hallway, a living room or a bedroom, especially in calm interiors where a quiet coastal scene can sit comfortably.
