The portrait Scott noticed at Johns Hopkins is in a book now: Sargent's later works, Vol.3.
Compare the paths of Repin, Sargent and Sorolla:
Repin declined a mural project, but Kramskoy and Sargent did not; Both Repin and Sargent are in the book of Art Through Ages, but Sargent's name is not in another art history book, Sorolla is not.
The art of Repin and his contemporary Russian artists is in line with character of Russian literature and art in that period: typical environment and characters, firm portraying by profound depiction in realism.
Some works by Sargent were criticized as superficial.
Sorolla started a first non-family portrait in 1907, a portrait of a King, while Sargent was quitting portraiture, telling Sorolla there are clients in London like his works;
Repin's name is praised by Stalin at the critical moment of the Soviet in 1941, to arouse the passion of patriotism; Due to managemental shortcoming, while we can visit Sorolla and Repin, Fechin, Norman Rockwell museums, but not a museum to Sargent.
