Couldn't load pickup availability
John Singer Sargent's 1918 watercolor, Tommies Bathing, captures a serene, almost idyllic moment of soldiers reclining by a riverside. This composition is part of Sargent's informal series painted during a commission to document the Allied forces in World War I. Offering an intimate glimpse into the private, restorative intervals of war-worn soldiers.
In this scene, two nude figures are sprawled languidly on the lush grass, their bodies reflecting the soft play of sunlight filtered through the surrounding foliage. Sargent's deft brushwork and delicate use of color bring the scene to life, with each blade of grass and ripple in the water meticulously rendered. The relaxed postures and peaceful expressions of the soldiers contrast sharply with the chaos of battle, emphasizing a rare moment of tranquility and vulnerability.
This work not only showcases Sargent's mastery in capturing light and shadow but also serves as a poignant reminder of the humanity that persists even in the midst of war. Gifted to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Sargent's sister, Mrs. Francis Ormond, in 1950, this watercolor continues to resonate as a testament to the quiet resilience and enduring spirit of the men who fought in World War I.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
