[Sheri Fresonke Harper]

The only thing I don't really like is the large size of the printing--it makes it difficult to hold and store. Good introduction to the art of John Singer Sargent and history about the artist.

This book contains great reproductions of Sargent's paintings. His work shows such virtuosity!
