An Artist in His Studio, John Singer Sargent
This picture represents the Italian painter Ambrogio Raffele (or Ambrogio Raffaele), with whom Sargent vacationed in the Italian Alps. Raffele is using his tiny hotel room as a studio; he and his landscape painting are shifted to the left corner, and much of this composition is given over to laundry and rumpled bed linens.
