More Newport things! Specifically, portraits. One of the marks of high society during the Gilded Age was a portrait by one of the celebrated artists of the set. Actually one of my favorite artists ever, John Singer Sargent, was one of the most popular of these, but there were also Auguste Carolus-Duran and Giovanni Boldini.
Here are some of my favorites!
