Join staff member Jeanne Burke to slow down, notice details, and explore the mood of John Singer Sargent’s painting The Breakfast Table through a guided writing exercise that invites you to respond in your own words. No prior writing experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to look closely.
This talk is part of Decompress, a series that allows visitors to linger in quiet contemplation or receive a mindful perspective about artworks in our collections. Whether through a meditative moment, a guided activity, or a reflection with art, the museums are your place to decompress and slow down.
