Sargent produced over two thousand watercolors across four decades, but the North African and Middle Eastern sheets from 1905–6 mark a specific turning point: the moment he abandoned portrait commissions almost entirely in favor of private, unexhibited fieldwork. The Bedouin studies from this period were painted rapidly on off-white wove paper, gouache layered wet-into-wet over translucent washes, a method that demanded completion before the Moroccan heat dried the surface.
The original remains in the American Wing at @metmuseum, where it entered through a 1950 gift from the artist's niece. A compositional directness in the figure, organized around a single vertical axis with no concession to decorative context, suggests a way of looking that would travel well beyond Sargent's own practice. The work has since been preserved in ceramic form by MUGGMUSEET curatorial staff.
