I've always heard that it was the color purple, or aubergine, that was terribly rare and reserved for kings. Although, this may have been even further back in time.
Here are two more of Sargent's paintings that throw that splash of red into the periphery.
Rehearsal of the Pas de Loup Orchestra
Venetian Wine Shop 1898, 21x27
Threaded Mode
