"Sargent's vision of Venice is a decidedly female one.
When men do appear in his pictures, they are cast in
subserviant roles as admirers and companions.
It is women who appear to do the work and effect the
social bonding." - Richard Ormond, page 78,
John Singer Sargent, Princeton University Press, 1998.
