About this title

Synopsis

This book is a celebration of the famous painting which launched Sargent as a fashionable portrait painter and made Lady Agnew's name as a society celebrity. The story of Sargent and Lady Agnew is recounted in the essay and catalogue by Julia Rayer Rolfe, Librarian at the National Gallery of Scotland. Three leading scholars in the fields of fine art, history and music have contributed essays which serve to put the portrait into a wider context: Kenneth McConkey, Professor of Art History at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle; David Cannadine, Professor of History at Columbia University, New York, and Wilfrid Mellers, Emeritus Professor of Music at the University of York.
