John Singer Sargent was at the height of his career when he painted this portrait of Peter Chardon Brooks (1831-1920) in 1890. The marriage of his daughter Eleanor to Richard Middlecott Saltonstall united these two longstanding New England families. Brooks was Massachusetts senator Leverett Saltonstall's grandfather.
