"An Out-of-Doors Study" is an oil painting created by the American artist John Singer Sargent in 1889. This work is a notable example of Sargent's plein air painting, a style that emphasizes painting outdoors to capture natural light and atmosphere. The painting depicts two women seated in a sunlit garden, engaged in a moment of quiet leisure. The figures are believed to be Sargent's sister Violet and his friend and fellow artist, Albert Besnard's wife, Charlotte Dubray Besnard. However, the exact identities of the sitters are not definitively confirmed.
The composition of "An Out-of-Doors Study" reflects Sargent's mastery of light and texture. The interplay of sunlight and shadow is a central feature of the painting, with dappled light filtering through the foliage and falling across the women's clothing and the surrounding greenery. Sargent's loose, impressionistic brushwork captures the ephemeral quality of the scene, while his attention to detail in the figures' faces and postures conveys a sense of intimacy and realism.
This painting is often associated with the Impressionist movement, as it shares similarities with the works of artists like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, particularly in its focus on outdoor settings and the effects of natural light. However, Sargent's approach is distinct in its combination of Impressionist techniques with his own refined, academic training.
"An Out-of-Doors Study" is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It is frequently cited as an example of Sargent's ability to blend technical skill with a modern sensibility, making it a significant work within his oeuvre. The painting continues to be admired for its beauty and its representation of late 19th-century leisure and fashion.
No further detailed historical context or additional information about the painting's creation or reception is available.
