John Singer Sargent, Charcoal Drawings, Vol 3

John Singer Sargent possessed the robust rectitude, modesty, industry, and power of sustained concentration that have been found in other descendants of Epes Sargent. He inherited artistic tastes from both father and mother, and with this inheritance, combined with industry and uncommon opportunity, made himself one of the world's greatest painters. Simple in life, stern in self-judgment, always kind and indulgent in his judgment of others, devoted to the members of his immediate family, and a kind and generous friend to all struggling artists, Sargent the man, for the very few who really knew him, was not less remarkable than Sargent the artist, known and admired by the whole world.
