What is Sargent about?
John Singer Sargent created the controversial portrait of Virginie Gautreau, known as Madame X, in 1883, which scandalized the public when exhibited at the 1884 Paris Salon. The portrait features Gautreau in an elegant black evening dress, but the depiction of her slipping strap led to ridicule and damaged her reputation. Sargent later considered it his best work, keeping it in his studio until selling it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1916.
