You see a carved warrior in stone, about two feet tall. His raised arm clutches a spear. The face is weathered but still fierce. This image is actually a photo of a carving. It’s one of 611 photos once owned by John Singer Sargent. He kept them while traveling, probably for ideas. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more Sargent gifts.
