texture and tone has been accomplished by varying both the pressure and the
direction of the strokes. Sargent has used the same pencil throughout the

Study for Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau)[1] c.1883 Private Collection Unknown, USA |

Madame Gautreau Drinking a Toast c. 1883 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Boston, MA |
This
painting has an interesting provenance. Sargent had dedicated it to Madame
Gautreau's mother, Madame Anotole Avengno. Later it was bought by Dr. Pozzi,
whom reportedly had an affair with Madame Gautreau. It would eventually be
purchased by Isabella Stewart Gardner at the estate sale of Pozzi.
