Sketch of Cellini's "Perseus"

John Singer Sargent, hacia 1909/1910

This painting shows a sculpture painted in shades of blue and gray. The sculpture portrays a nude man standing triumphantly over a fallen figure, holding a severed head in one hand and a long sword in the other. The man appears to have something on his head that may be a helmet. The sculpture faces the left, and we see it in profile. The background is tan, with some areas of pale blue and brown.
