Title:	Seated Woman
Artist:	Sargent, Margarett or 'Margaret Sargent' (Wellesley, MA, 1892 - 1978)
Date:	c. 1920 - 1930
Medium:	Original Pastel and Ink Drawing
Note:	Margaret Sargent also listed as 'Margarett Sargent': A fourth cousin of John Singer Sargent, Margaret Sargent studied art in Boston under Gutzon Borglum and Charles Woodbury. She was also mentored by George Luks and quickly established herself in Boston's avant-garde circles. Margaret Sargent's period of artistic activity was rather brief (from around 1920 to 1935) but during this time her paintings and sculptures were included in major exhibitions at the National Academy of Design, the National Association of Women Artists, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Corcoran Gallery and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
	Margaret Sargent spent a considerable amount of time in Paris where she studied and applied modern trends in art. In her paintings and drawings, her work is often compared to that of Henri Matisse. This is clearly seen in Seated Woman, where both the figure and the furnishings are pared down to their essential lines. This compelling drawing is not signed but as it is probably a preparatory study for a possible painting, this is not surprising.
	Margarett W. McKean Sargent was a full member of the National Society of Women Painters and Sculptors, New York City. Not long ago (1984) her portrait art was included in an important exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, entitled, "The Feminine Gaze: Women Depicted by Women, 1900 - 1930".
