I was a little disappointed in this book. I expected detailed, color drawings. This book contains nice sketches of portraits that Sargent perhaps later painted. The reproductions are a little blurry, also. It is still a nice, inexpensive reference book to own.

A bit disappointing as there are few guidelines or words of instruction.

It is good to study the master artists and for beginners learning to draw is required. I love having 42 drawings to examine, glad this collection was put in a small book, it’s wonderful.

I selected this book as a gift for my husband. He was delighted to see the drawings of Sargent and is planning on developing his skills by copying the works found in the book.

This book is one of the best buys i did this year. Sargent paintings are very famous but the drawings from this little book are amazing! Some of these portraits were done in the later phase of Sargent work and show great mastery of the drawing media (pencil, charchoal). There’s a small text about Sargent that is very good too.
