Description
In 1883, John Singer Sargent did a famous portrait of Madam Pierre Gautreau (also known as "Madam X") The origional portrait caused quite the scandle as he painted her right shoulder strap where it had slipped down around her arm. By demand, at the time, Sargent re-touched the painting to show the strap properly back up. This is a study of one of my favorite paintings of Sargent's.
