i agree, i love this portrait of isabella stewart gardner - i think it’s interesting how isabella was somewhat of a homely woman, so sargent placed the emphasis in the portrait on her body, while her face is more obscure.
however, this is definitely my favorite piece in her collection, another john singer sargent. i love the painting itself, but i also love where she (i assume) placed it in the house, and the mirror hanging at the end of the painting so it looks to go on forever.

I had forgotten about this piece. It’s magnificent, but not conspicuous, and sets a mood for the entire house.
