Painted in $1885$ during Sargent’s visits to the author’s home in Bournemouth, Robert Louis Stevenson and His Wife captures the famed Scottish novelist in a moment of restless creative contemplation. Pacing across an Oriental carpet with a hand to his mustache, the slender writer embodies literary genius and nervous energy. To the right, his wife Fanny reclines exoticly on a sofa draped in a golden Indian shawl, while an open doorway beckons into the shadowy corridor beyond. Sargent’s daring spatial arrangement and warm, rich palette create an unprecedented glimpse into the private domestic realm of one of the $19\text{th}$ century’s greatest storytellers.
