Emily Sargent
Emily Sargent (-1936) was an artist best known for her watercolors and the sister of John Singer Sargent.[1] She did not exhibit her own work during her lifetime. But 440 of her works were discovered in 1998 in a trunk in a family residence. Many of these works have been given to some of the world's best known museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (45 paintings), the Tate Gallery (29), the National Gallery of Art (Washington) (25), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (22), the Brooklyn Museum (20), the Ashmolean (19), as well as the Sargent House Museum (15) in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where several of her ancestors lived.[1]
The first major exhibition of her work Emily Sargent, A Glimpse into her World was held at the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts in 2022.[2]
