American art collector

Emily Sargent (1857-1936) is best known as a watercolor artist and as the sister of the painter John Singer Sargent. Emily Sargent painted alongside her brother throughout her life. Her work has been little known until recently as she exhibited her work only once in her lifetime, but her family donated examples to many museums leading to increasing recognition.
