Art: A Sargent

Last week the Metropolitan Museum of Art bought John Singer Sargent’s large portrait which he called “The Wyndham Sisters,” but, since it was gravely named by King Edward VII when he first saw it, “The Three Graces,” that remains its common title. The price is supposed to have been nearly $100,000, drawn, from a fund whose name the directors refused to divulge, but very likely the Hearn Fund.
