Little is
known about the painting. Apparently the name was taken from the Knoedler

From: Fogg Art Museum
"In
this bold drawing, characteristic of Sargent's hand, the differentiation of
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
composition. The area of white chalk on the back of the sofa was probably used

In all of
Sargent's sketches of Madame Pierre Gauteau and it is believed to be over a
dozen total, not one sketch that I've seen shows her engaging us directly. This

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.
