Favourite painting

I received this postcard from my mother. She wants me to look at it when I'm in need of inspiration.

The painting is one of my favourites and I was so lucky to see it at Tate Britain with my friend Yasmin some weeks ago. Apparently, Singer Sargent could only paint a few minutes every evening in order to catch the light when it was just perfect. I love these kinds of stories.

How beautiful are the orange paper lanterns?
