Est: $1,000 - $1,500
William Sargeant Kendall American, 1869-1938 Portrait of a Man Signed Sargeant Kendall (ul) Oil on canvas 41 3/4 x 21 inches Provenance: Educational institution, New York Exhibited: New York, The Society of American Artists, The Nineteenth Exhibition, n.a. William Sergeant Kendall studied with Thomas Eakins, at the Brooklyn Art Guild and in Philadelphia; with H. Siddons Mowbray and J. Carroll Beckwith at the Art Students League in New York; and with Luc Olivier Merson, at the Academie Julian in Paris. He merged influences from this training in the classically composed, realist portrayals of female figures for which he is best known. His subjects were mostly his wife and three daughters and youthful nudes. This painting, a rare image of a male subject by Kendall, is possibly a self-portrait. The chiseled features and other facial characteristics of this sedate individual resemble those seen in photographs of the artist. Kendall's admiration for the work of Velazquez, which he traveled to copy in Madrid in 1891, is strongly resonant in this work. The extreme frontality, the broad treatment of the figure within the narrow arrangement, the mirror that echoes the shape of his head (evoking Velazquez's Las Meninas, which Kendall copied), and the strong contrasts add to this depiction of a dignified, thoughtful, and resolute individual.

Caffin, "The Art of Sargeant Kendall," Harper's Monthly Magazine 117, Sept. 1908: 571-72 Catalogue of Paintings in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.: Corcoran Gallery of Art, 1915, 77, no. 217 Frank Jewett Mather, "Sergeant Kendall and his Art," Yale Alumni Weekly 31, Jul. 7, 1922, 1192-93 Kendall, who studied with Thomas Eakins in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, at the Art Students League, New York, and at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, was one of few American artists of his time to fuse the realism of the Eakins tradition with a classical approach to the figure. This blend may be seen in Narcissa, a depiction by the artist of his daughter Beatrice, painted in 1907. Showing his subject standing on a bed to observe a full-length view of herself in a mirror, Kendall captures the moment when a young girl has become aware of her coming womanhood, the mirror serving to express the theme of self-awareness. According to a record at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Kendall considered this work, in which he combined a refined draftsmanship that derived from his academic training with a sensitive interpretation of this transitional time of life, to be his most important. Of the painting, the noted critic Charles Caffin wrote: "I cannot recall any oil-painting of the nude in American art that approaches this one in purity of draughtsmanship or exquisiteness of feeling."
