John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925), Portrait of Mrs. Asher B. Wertheimer, 1898. Oil on canvas. New Orleans Museum of Art, Museum purchase in memory of William H. Henderson.
By 1897 John Singer Sargent was a famous figure on the London art scene and the preeminent portraitist of his period. Included in his list of eager sitters was Asher B. Wertheimer, a wealthy London art dealer, who commissioned the artist to paint portraits of himself and his wife to commemorate their silver wedding anniversary in 1898. A standing saturnine rendering of Asher Wertheimer with his black poodle is the pendant to this portrait of his wife.
