Sargent's virtuosic brushwork—watercolors dashed off in Mediterranean light, oil portraits of Edwardian society's elite—made him the most sought-after portraitist of the Belle Époque. His watercolors appear frequently at auction and command above $1 million; oil portraits, far rarer, regularly exceed $20 million. His 'Madame X' scandal and subsequent relocation to London are art history legend.
