Picture and Text is a collection of essays by Henry James on the visual arts, published in 1893. The book is most notable for extensive and perceptive essays on John Singer Sargent and Honoré Daumier. Included with the essays on the visual arts is an out-of-place but interesting discussion in dialogue form about the theater called After the Play.
