----------------------------Original message---------------------------- One of our support staff is trying to identify a painting she saw in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's catalog as port of their "Women in White" notecard set. The woman is lying more or less prone on a sofa, her arms resting on its arm. The skirt of her white dress spreads rather dramatically over the sofa and down to the floor; it appears to have a black stripe in the middle of it. It looked familiar to me, and I guessed Sargent. My colleague thought the same but hadn't been able to find it reproduced in our books on Sargent. Either we're wrong about the artist or it just didn't happen to appear in the books we have. Sound familiar to anyone? Other artists mentioned as being represented in the set are Chase & Weir but they're not the only ones. Thanks-- Edith Crowe San Jose State University Library
