Mrs Charles Thursby (Alice Brisbane) is a 1900 oil by John Singer Sargent, a Impressionism work, held at The Newark Museum of Art.
This portrait features a woman seated in a chair, with her left hand resting on her hip and her right hand placed on the armrest. She wears a dark-colored dress adorned with a purple flower at the chest, complemented by a white turtleneck underneath. The background of the painting is a muted, earthy tone. The woman's attire and the chair she sits in suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow are reminiscent of the work of John Singer Sargent.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
