  1. John Singer Sargent's Nonchaloir (Repose), painted in 1911, reflects his exceptional technical skill and ability to depict subjects in luxurious, serene settings. The portrait, which measures 63.8 x 76.2 cm, features a sense of calm and elegance that Sargent was known for in his portraits of wealthy patrons. Although Sargent was highly sought after, he eventually grew tired Traffic Rider Mod APK of the demands and egos of his sitters, shifting away from portraiture later in his career. The painting is housed at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
