This piece of art would be successful if evaluated using the characteristics of impressionism. John Singer Sargent was known for his impressionistic style, which often emphasized the effects of light and movement rather than focusing on detailed realism. The scene described, with a relaxed figure and a natural setting, aligns well with the principles of impressionism.
