Corner of a Garden — Fine Art

Corner of a Garden by John Singer Sargent shows a patch of cultivated plants and leaves pressed into the sheet. Greens sit next to warmer browns and the outline of a wall or fence holds the edge. It belongs with the outdoor watercolour studies the artist made when he worked directly from a subject.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The paper is matte, so the greens stay flat and there is no shine under a lamp. A light frame reads well on a darker wall, or a wood finish sits beside wooden furniture. You see the wash marks without glare.

It hangs on a kitchen wall, set above the counter where morning light falls on it. From the doorway you notice the darker greens and the lighter wash around them.
