Sargent on Location: Gardner’s First Artist-in-Residence

Sargent on Location: Gardner’s First Artist-in-Residence brings the painting of Gretchen Osgood Warren and her daughter Rachel back to the Gothic Room, where John Singer Sargent completed five portraits in 1903. The work, on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts, is on display through Jan. 14 alongside the artist’s oil painting of Gardner herself, while the Fenway Gallery hosts photographs of an in-action Sargent in addition to the piece’s props: Italian candlesticks, Renaissance chairs and a 15th-century Virgin and child that he used to pose his subjects. / Sarah Hagman
