Genre drawings by Sargent are extremely rare, especially ones that have come directly from the artist, which were intended as gifts and not meant to be sold. These two works came from his cousin in Boston, Massachusetts, Mary Newbold Patterson Hale.
The combined total for the two works was $100,000 |
