Figure in Hammock, Florida (1917) by John Singer Sargent. Custom Print on a 100% Airlume Combed and Ring-Spun Cotton Unisex Crewneck T-shirt

John Singer Sargent’s "Figure in Hammock, Florida" (1917) is a captivating exploration of leisure and tranquility, rendered with the masterful touch of an artist at the height of his powers. Sargent, born in Florence in 1856 to American expatriates, became one of the most celebrated portrait painters of his time. Known for his technical brilliance and keen observation, Sargent's work often captured the elegance and opulence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

By 1917, Sargent had largely retired from portrait commissions, turning his attention to landscapes and genre scenes. "Figure in Hammock, Florida" exemplifies this shift, showcasing his ability to capture the serene beauty of everyday moments. The painting is executed in an impressionistic style, characterized by loose brushwork and a vibrant palette, conveying the gentle sway of the hammock and the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.

Sargent's philosophical approach often centered on the interplay between light and form, and in this piece, he explores the theme of rest and respite amidst nature’s embrace. The subject—a figure reclining in a hammock—suggests a moment of quiet reflection, embodying the artist’s ongoing fascination with capturing fleeting moments of peace.

The painting is a testament to Sargent’s versatility and his ability to infuse even the simplest scenes with depth and emotion. Currently, "Figure in Hammock, Florida" is housed in a private collection, a cherished example of Sargent’s late-career exploration of genre painting.
