Yes Virginia there is (in Baltimore)
There is a clue in this painting, http://www.jssgallery.org/Paintings/...ur_Doctors.htm[url]
for the possible answer for the question: how can we explain that Sargent painted one figure in dark?

I give! What reason did Sargent give for having one figure in the dark?

Did Sargent ever say? . . . or is this all conjecture?

Jim and Steven:
Thanks for your interest in this post. A long term game from this post will benefit more for SOG and participants, so I'll wait for more discussion , while consulting with scholars, masters.
It's conjecture, but in "Sargent's later portrait", one can find an instance of what Sargent's own thought on a group portrait.
"Conjuncture", maybe, explain part of it.

Here is the quotation of Mao that Mr. Clinton likes:
"you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience".
