Sargent: white with red

Ena and Betty, Daughters of Asher and Mrs. Wertheimer, 1901.

Sometimes you forget just how good Sargent was.  I especially like his compositions whose color schemes are based on a combination of red and white.  Sometimes the red will only be an accent, just something to set off his famous whites.
