"Lady and Child Asleep in a Punt under the Willows" is a painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, created in 1887. Sargent, renowned for his portraiture and impressionistic landscapes, painted this work during a period when he was exploring plein air techniques and experimenting with light and atmosphere in outdoor settings.
The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a woman and a child resting in a punt, a flat-bottomed boat, beneath the shade of willow trees. The woman appears to be reclining, possibly asleep, while the child is also at rest. The composition captures a moment of quiet leisure, with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves and reflecting on the water. The soft, fluid brushstrokes and the interplay of light and shadow are characteristic of Sargent's style during this phase of his career.
This work is part of a series of paintings Sargent created while spending time in the English countryside, particularly in the village of Pangbourne along the River Thames. During this period, he often painted scenes of rural life and river landscapes, focusing on the effects of light and the natural environment. The painting reflects Sargent's ability to convey a sense of immediacy and intimacy, drawing the viewer into the serene atmosphere of the scene.
"Lady and Child Asleep in a Punt under the Willows" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It is considered an example of Sargent's mastery in capturing the subtleties of light and his skill in portraying the human figure in harmony with nature. The painting continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative depiction of a peaceful moment in time.
