This piece is called Madame X by John Singer Sargent. This portrait was the painter’s attempt at making a name for himself. But what seemed like an opportunistic move led John Singer Sargent to flee the country and destroyed the model’s reputation forever. The sitter is Virginie Avegno Gautreau. She outraged Paris when she posed for a portrait that showed her strap falling off her shoulder. In the late 19th century, this was not something a married woman did. Thanks for watching!
