Wide shot oil painting by John Singer Sargent. The young woman stands on a bustling, foggy pier in Southampton, 1912. In the background, the massive black hull and funnels of the Titanic loom through the mist. She is dressed in an elegant traveling suit, holding a small vanity case, watching porters load her trunks.

Loose, expressive brushwork, capturing the scale of the ship and the anticipation of the journey. Mehr sehen
