This piece, part of Tate’s collection, is a full size preparatory oil sketch of Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau that Sargent made in preparation for his controversial portrait of the socialite Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau) , 1883–84. As it is a study, large areas of the canvas were left unpainted, but most of Madame Gautreau is painted as she was presented in the final piece, in the same unconventional pose. The gold and black colours and gestural elements make the piece a stunning artwork in its own right.

American painter John Singer Sargent was considered the most fashionable portrait painter working in England and the USA in the late 19th century. During his early career in 1880s he was influenced by his friend Monet towards Impressionism, but by the 1890s had success with society portraits. After 1900 Sargent spent his summers on long sketching holidays and shocked social circles when he decided to give up portraiture in favour of landscapes. In 1918 he worked as a war artist and from 1890 until c. 1925 he painted murals for Boston Library and Museum.
