Camprodon, Spain (1892) by John Singer Sargent Gay Fashion Two women lounge together onJohn Singer Sargents Camprodn, Spain (c. 1892) swaps society glamour for a sun washed mountain street. This is a transparent and opaque watercolour on wove paper, showing tall cream buildings, red roofs, an archway and two tiny figures moving through the town. Made during Sargents wider Spanish travels, it feels like escape from the portrait studio.
