John Singer Sargent was considered as the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian era luxury. He had painted many famous and successful figure paintings.
This oil painting, A Morning Walk, is a typical figure painting. The lady in the painting is Mrs. Violet Ormond, who was the artist's sister. In a sunny morning, the lady carries a white umbrella, wearing a beautiful straw hat and white skirt, walking leisurely along the river bank. It is a spring or summer morning, since the grass and trees around the river are green and dense. The sun shines in the grass and trees so that we can easily find the color is golden. Moreover, white clouds and blue sky reflect on the river. Therefore, the river is like a beautiful movable scenery painting because it moves with the natural objects and some leaves float on the river. The most important point for a figure painting is the figure's emotion, and the major method to show the figure's emotion is facial expression. In the painting, the painter depicts the lady's side face rather than the whole face. Her face is pink because of the sunlight or joyful mood. She looks down on the ground and walks carefully, fearing slip and fall for the lawn is slippery in the morning. Even though it is dangerous to slip, she is enjoyable. She is emerged in the beautiful morning scenery. She has a good mood and we know she will have a good day. Most important, this Singer Sargent painting makes us having a good mood.
