Painted
at the Russell House on Broadway. Artist Edwin Howland
Blashfield said that 'One memory remains to me of
an afternoon's sitting in the dazzling poppy path.
Sargent's study was better than those of the rest
of us, but he finally shut his sketching easel and
carried it indoors remarking, "Well, I'm stumped."'
(Quoted in John Singer Sargent, Princeton University
Press, Edited by Elain Kilmurrary and Richard Ormond,
page 118.)
