Painted in 1911 in the marble quarries of Carrara, Italy, this watercolor shows laborers hauling a massive rope used to move huge slabs of marble, with John Singer Sargent emphasizing the rope's sweeping curve over fine detail in the workers themselves. It is one of several watercolors Sargent made documenting the quarrymen of Carrara, a region he visited to study the labor behind one of art's essential materials. The painting belongs to the Art Institute of Chicago's Olivia Shaler Swan Collection.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. It is the best thing in the primary bedroom now.
I have already recommended this shop to three people. My neighbor liked it enough that she ordered one for her own place. The fringe on this pillow is neat and has stayed that way through two washes. It is the best thing in the sunroom now.
My mother liked hers so much that I ordered one too. Every line in Workmen at Carrara is crisp, even in the busiest areas. It is the best thing in the home office now. 🙂
I have no real complaints and one small wish. The subject of Workmen at Carrara is what sold me, and it delivers.
This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. The brushwork in Workmen at Carrara shows exactly why Sargent has the reputation.
Wonderful to read, thank you. We put a lot of thought into how these are packed, so it is good to know that came through.
