17 portraits in 6 weeks
There's a thought for my summer break: try to see how many portraits I can do in my six-seven weeks off. Sure won't be anything like Sargent's in quality, but it's an interesting numerical goal to set for myself.
Were those plain head and shoulder portraits he did or full-length works in that length of time? That would be interesting to know! If they were simple head and shoulders, then it becomes a little less mind-boggling.
