Head Study #155

John Singer Sargent revisited.  Here is a monochrome copy of a charcoal drawing of Mrs George Swinton, 1906.  From the jssgallery.org, "Although British, she actually grew up in St Petersburg, and left vivid accounts of life in pre-Revolution Russia."  Oh, and she was another "cantatrice".

Paper: NY Central, 140 lb, hot press, 22 x 15"

Paint: Blick PB15:4 Phthalo Blue
