Mischa: thanks for your reply. Yes I have the same feeling when copying Sargent. For him it was obviously a very natural happening.
Allan: thanks for replying. In fact I do not have a photo of the selfpic anymore, only a paper copy. Thanks for the link; the photo is indeed much better. I'm supprised that the colors are much warmer, more orange then my paper photo wich has more a purple, light rose colortone. Maybe this is due to my printer . Anyway, it is the tonal relationship witch is important. Sargent has such a loose stroke and yet very exact when needed.
