Sargent's portrait of Elizabeth Ebsworth was done in 1897, and I'm certain she would not be caught dead in an art museum wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Such casual dress was unheard of in public places, and I'm reminded that I'm very happy to live in a time when it's perfectly acceptable. The Sargent painting hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago.
