Another John Singer Sargent. This is Dr. Pozzi at Home, painted in 1881 in oils on canvas. I love the glasslike slipper, but what's with all the fingers entangled in the ropes of the robe he's wearing? #PortraitChallenge Day47/100 #The100DayProject #100DayProject #FountainPen #WaterColour #Sketchbook #Hobonichi #InkyParker51

@Parker51
That must be a very slippery fabric. He had to hold on to the robe. πŸ˜‚

Really well drawn! The background is lovely. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

@Parker51 @Durcheinanderin Did you check out the fancy slippers of Kimono Dandy?
@morph @Parker51
We can actually only see one. Perhaps he’s thinking and looking for where the second one is? πŸ˜„
@Durcheinanderin @Parker51 Ah, that's why he looks a bit upset. Did doggo destroy it? /o\
@Parker51
It's good, you met his expression

@Parker51 Well done.

I'm actually reading a book about Samuel Pozzi. Very interesting. A gynecologist who wasn’t happy with his marriage and was a time the lover of Sarah Bernhardt among other ladies of the good society. And was a French Deputy. I'll work soon on this portrait. πŸ™‚

@Eric_ours_polaire Thank you! What interesting book, much appreciate the link! πŸ™

@Parker51 That’s another book about him. The one I'm reading is from Julian Barnes and starts from this portrait.
