The Story in the Margin
Painted around 1890 to 1891 during John Singer Sargent's travels in Egypt — undertaken partly as research for his Boston Public Library murals on the history of religion — this work depicts figures at work with a shaduf, a traditional device used to raise irrigation water from the Nile. Sargent brought the same close attention to light, gesture, and everyday labor that defined his portraits to this scene of riverside life. The painting is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. The colors in Water Carriers on the Nile are richer than any version I found online. Every person who has been in the house has asked where it came from.
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. It has made every other thing in that room look better by association. It cost less than dinner out and has given us far more.
This went well past what I expected. The shading in Water Carriers on the Nile has a depth I never noticed in books.
Thank you so much, this made our morning. Enjoy it, and send a photo if you ever feel like it.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. I have been hunting for a good version of Water Carriers on the Nile for two years. It has been worth every minute of the wait.
I would not order from here again without a lot more information up front.
That is not the experience we want anyone to have. A full refund is on its way to your card, and I am sorry it took a review to get there. Ines
