"The Sphinx" is a painting by the prominent American artist John Singer Sargent, known for his evocative portraits and mastery of the brush. Created in 1890-1891, this work diverges from Sargent's typical subject matter, venturing into the realm of exotic and enigmatic symbolism. The painting features a reclining female figure, draped in flowing garments, set against a backdrop that suggests the arid landscape of Egypt, where the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza resides.

Sargent's "The Sphinx" is characterized by its rich color palette, intricate play of light and shadow, and the artist's fluid brushwork, which together create a sense of mystery and contemplation. The woman's pose and the distant gaze of her eyes evoke the inscrutable nature of the ancient monument, while also reflecting the 19th-century fascination with Orientalism and the allure of the unknown.

Measuring approximately 35.5 x 57.8 cm (14 x 22.75 in), this oil on canvas is part of Sargent's broader body of work that explores themes beyond the portraiture for which he is best known. "The Sphinx" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Sargent's versatility as an artist and his engagement with the cultural and artistic currents of his time.

As with many of Sargent's paintings, "The Sphinx" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and interpretation, with art historians examining its place within the context of Sargent's oeuvre, as well as its broader implications in the cultural milieu of the late 19th century. The painting stands as a testament to Sargent's ability to transcend the boundaries of portraiture and engage with the symbolic and the sublime, offering viewers a glimpse into the artist's rich and varied artistic exploration.
