Young Kate Millet is thrilled to be the model for John Singer Sargent's painting Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. Sargent, however, decides Kate's hair is too dark, and when he chooses other models, she gets angry. The telling is wordy, but the story and paintings provide an engaging look at Sargent's work and the 1880s expatriate art scene in England. Bib.
