John Singer Sargent, London in the Luxembourg Gardens, 1879. Oil on canvas 25 7/8 × 36 3/8 in. (65.7 × 92.4 cm). Philadelphia Museum of Art, John G. Johnson Collection, 1917 (Cat. 1080) “I think people will be surprised to see the amount of work Sargent does in this decade and how good it is,” says Herdrich, referring to the mid-1870s to 1880s. “We think of Sargent as this amazing portraitist and that his opulent portraits of the 1890s are his boldest, but there’s something about this early period that is more intense and daring. He’s putting himself out there and taking risks to develop a strong artistic voice.” Of course, nowhere does Sargent’s audaciousness shine more clearly than in Madame X. “It’s such an ambitious portrait for him,” Herdrich says. “He seeks Madame Gautreau out and asks her to pose for him, determined to create an attention-grabbing masterpiece for the Salon.” She notes Sargent’s admiration for Gautreau’s profile and artificial skin tone, achieved through layers of cosmetics. “Sargent made more preparatory studies for Madame X than for almost any other painting in his career. It’s as if by drawing her, he’s really trying to understand her unusual beauty.” John Singer Sargent, Madame Gautreau Drinking a Toast, 1882–1883. Oil on panel. 12 5/8 × 16 1/8 in. (32 × 41 cm).

Despite debuting under the title Madame *** (it was Salon tradition to protect the identity of the sitter), the painting’s subject was immediately recognized. While some people critiqued the portrait for being harsh and unflattering, the disapproval of others ran deeper. Born to French parents in New Orleans, Gautreau moved to France with her mother after her father died during the Civil War. “She becomes famous just for being beautiful but is always considered an outsider in Paris society,” Herdrich says. Many resented her social position, looking down on her parents’ fortune from farming cotton, indigo, and sugarcane through the forced labor of enslaved people: “The idea that this American had infiltrated French society was something that people were very offended by,” Herdrich adds.
