Мадам Икс (Мадам Пьер Готро)

1883–84
Not on view
Виржиния Амели Авеньо Готро, родившаяся в Луизиане парижская светская львица, была известна благодаря своей яркой внешности. Сарджент надеялся прославиться, написав и выставив ее портрет. Работая без вознаграждения, с согласия модели, он подчеркнул ее вызывающий стиль спадающей с правого плеча бретелькой платья. После того, как портрет получил больше насмешек, чем похвалы на Парижском салоне 1884 года, Сарджент переписал бретельку и оставил картину себе. Продав работу Метрополитену, он заявил: «Я думаю, это лучшая вещь, которую я создал», но попросил скрыть имя модели.
