Happy birthday to Virginie Avegno Gautreau, also known as “Madame X”! Swipe through to see how John Singer Sargent’s striking portrait—on view in Gallery 771 of the @MetAmericanWing—continues to inspire our visitors and copyist program participants to this day.⁣ ⁣⁣

Born on January 29, 1859, Madame Gautreau was an expatriate from Louisiana and a familiar figure in Parisian society, known for her artful appearance. She fascinated artist John Singer Sargent, who undertook this portrait without a commission, hoping to enhance his reputation by exhibiting it at the 1884 Paris Salon. The portrait, which exaggerates Gautreau's daring style (the right strap of her gown was originally shown slipping from her shoulder), shocked many viewers. After the Salon, Sargent repainted the shoulder strap and kept the portrait until he sold it to The Met in 1916. #MadameX #JohnSingerSargent #TheMet #MetAmericanWing⁣ ⁣⁣
