Almina, Daughter of Asher Wertheimer by John Singer Sargent
Mavi Boncuk |The Wertheimer Family Portraits
In 1898, John would embark on his largest private portrait commission that would, when it was finally finished, span ten years and include twelve oil portraits. Asher Wertheimer had hired John to paint his wife and himself in two pendent portraits for their wedding anniversary. In October of 1999, The Jewish Museum of New York put together the entire group of twelve portraits for the first time since they hung privately in the family's home.
