Description:

Singer Sargent studied in France in the studio of Carolus-Duran, starting in 1874. Sargent studied the work of Velázquez at first hand in Spain in 1879; Frans Hals was also an important influence on his brushwork. Sargent’s double portrait of these two French artists has an unusual composition. François Flameng (1856-1923) looks out at the spectator with a mildly ironic gaze, while Paul Helleu (1859-1927), behind him and in sharp profile, looks to the left. Frans Hals’s painting The Banquet of the Officers of the St. George Civic Guard (1616, Frans Hals Museum), which Sargent copied when he visited Haarlem in 1880, may have inspired the composition.
