Travis Simpkins Sketches Works in the Gothic Room at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Gothic Room

     Today, I am assigned to sketch a work on display in the Gothic Room at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. A century ago, John Singer Sargent used this very room as his studio when he painted his well-known portrait of "Mrs. Fiske Warren & Her Daughter" (in the collection of the MFA). It is one of my favorite gallery spaces in the museum…

     John Singer Sargent arrived in Worcester, Massachusetts on June 3, 1890. He had come to fulfill a commission to paint a full-length portrait of Mrs. Edward L. Davis.

The Worcester Club- Elm Street, Worcester

     For four weeks, from the beginning of June to the beginning of July of 1890, John Singer Sargent rented a room at the Worcester Club on Elm Street in Worcester, Massachusetts.

     Sargent executed two more portraits of prominent Worcester ladies, Mrs. Alexander H. Bullock and Lizzie B. Dewey, before briefly departing in July, 1890:
