John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was one of the most sought-after portraitists in America and England during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His brilliant brushwork and flair for flattering characterization kept Sargent in demand. His admiration for Diego Velazquez and Frans Hals strongly influenced his work.
Portrait of Mrs. Daniel Sargent Curtis is one of a number of informal portraits Sargent created for his friends. Mrs. Curtis was an American expatriate living in Venice, Italy. Sargent often stayed with the Curtis family while visiting Venice.
