N.B. Margarett Sargent was a Massachusetts painter of portraits and figure studies and fourth cousin to noted artist John Singer Sargent. She stopped exhibiting around 1936, and her work was not widely known until after her death, when Berry-Hill Gallery in New York mounted a retrospective of her paintings in 1996. More recently, Margarett Sargent's work was included in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, exhibition A Studio of Her Own, in the fall of 2001.
