Painting Description
"Cora, Countess of Strafford (Cora Smith)" is a portrait painting by the renowned American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent. The work, completed in 1908, depicts Cora Smith, who was the wife of the 3rd Earl of Strafford, Henry William Thomas Howard. Born in 1859, Cora Smith was an American heiress from New York who married into British nobility, becoming the Countess of Strafford in 1899.
The portrait is a testament to Sargent's mastery of the grand manner style, showcasing his ability to capture the elegance and sophistication of his sitters. In this painting, the Countess is portrayed with an air of aristocratic poise and grace, which was characteristic of Sargent's approach to portraiture during this period of his career. The Countess is dressed in an opulent gown, and the artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his loose, expressive brushwork, highlights the textures of her attire and the softness of her features.
Sargent's portrait of Cora, Countess of Strafford, is an example of his work during a time when he was the most sought-after portraitist among the wealthy and influential patrons in both Europe and America. The painting not only captures the likeness of the Countess but also serves as a representation of the social status and the luxurious lifestyle of the Edwardian elite.
The painting is part of a collection of works by John Singer Sargent that are held in various museums and private collections around the world. His portraits are celebrated for their psychological depth and the skillful depiction of his subjects' character and social standing. "Cora, Countess of Strafford (Cora Smith)" remains a significant work within Sargent's oeuvre, reflecting the grandeur of the Gilded Age and the cross-Atlantic connections between American wealth and European nobility.
