The subject of this
watercolor has
been identified by Mary Crawford Volk (unpublished letter in the
drawing
department's curatorial files,16 July 1990) as a relief panel in the
16th-century
"retablo" of the Church of Los Jer—nimos in Granada. According to the
diary
entry of a fellow traveler, Sargent was in the church in 1895, but also
traveled to Granada in 1903 and 1912.
