This is
Sargent's first full length portrait. Notice the change of focus of the grass
around her face compared to the trees and stone railing of the Madame
Pailleron's parents country estate at Ronjoux, Chambéry, Savoy in the
south of France where this was painted.
In 1880
Sargent showed this painting along with the subject painting... | GA | igrkio |

 | King Philip IV (of Spain) 1879 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA |
The
painting is a copy of Diego Velázquez's "King Philip IV as a Huntsman"
which is hanging at the Prado. It highlights Sargent's interest in studying
Velázquez for use in his portraits.
Sargent
must have copied this work on one of his trips to Spain. The date is a guess by
me but 1879 coincides with one of his trips to the Prado.

This
painting is one of two studies that the Nelson-Atkins Museum both of which
directly relate to his much larger painting Spanish Dance.
This
painting (Study for Spanish Dance) is done with liberal brush strokes, and the sky seems
to churn in a brewing storm above echoing the passion of the dance. No effort

There is a
small study called Spanish Dance Study roughly 15 x 12 in. done by Sargent
which hangs at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. The composition
is exactly that of this painting but much smaller and the tone is so dark you
can hardly see the figures.
