"Sketch After 'El Jaleo' by John Singer Sargent" is a preparatory work by the renowned American artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), created as part of the process leading to his larger and more famous painting, "El Jaleo" (1882). Sargent, known for his technical prowess and evocative use of brushwork, often made sketches and studies before embarking on his major compositions. These preparatory works allowed him to experiment with composition, lighting, and form.

The sketch captures the essence of the final painting, which depicts a passionate scene of Spanish dance, specifically the flamenco, with its dynamic movement and dramatic chiaroscuro. "El Jaleo" is a testament to Sargent's interest in exotic and culturally rich subjects, which he encountered during his extensive travels. The larger work is celebrated for its bold depiction of the dancer and the intense atmosphere of the performance, elements that are often explored in the preliminary sketches.

While the exact date of the sketch is not documented, it is presumed to have been created in close conjunction with the final painting, which was completed after Sargent's visit to Spain in the early 1880s. The sketch would have served as a vital step in the artist's creative process, allowing him to refine his vision for the composition that would become one of his most famous works.

"Sketch After 'El Jaleo'" is an important piece for understanding Sargent's artistic method and provides insight into the development of one of his masterpieces. It is a work of interest to both art historians and enthusiasts of Sargent's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's skill in capturing the energy and movement of his subjects, even in the most preliminary forms. The sketch, like the final painting, is a celebration of the vibrancy of Spanish culture and the art of dance, themes that resonated deeply with Sargent and his contemporaries in the late 19th century.
