Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 14.1 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 16.5 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 26.9 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Sargent's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 147.6 × 96.8 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

John Singer Sargent's "Mrs. Joshua Montgomery Sears," painted in 1899, is an exquisite example of the artist's ability to combine society portraiture with subtle psychological depth. The subject, an elegant lady of Boston society, is captured in a moment of poised contemplation. The composition is arresting; she is seated in an ornate chair, her body angled slightly away from the viewer, yet her head turns to engage us directly with an almost inquisitive gaze.

Sargent's mastery of light is on full display here. The glow that bathes Mrs. Sears, particularly her face and the delicate folds of her white gown, adds a sense of ethereal grace. The dress itself is a marvel of texture, with its shimmering satin and gauzy, semi-transparent sleeves that convey both luxury and fragility. Notice how the soft pink roses she holds are mirrored in the subtle blush of her cheeks, drawing the eye to her face. There’s an intriguing juxtaposition in her expression – she is both composed and slightly distant, as if her thoughts are elsewhere, beyond the confines of the room she inhabits.

The background, dark and non-descript, serves to focus our attention entirely on the sitter. Sargent’s brushwork, loose yet precise, creates a sense of immediacy, making Mrs. Sears feel as though she might move at any moment. It's a portrait that embodies the elegance and social status of the sitter while hinting at the layers of complexity beneath the surface.
