 | Madame Edouard Pailleron 1879 Corcoran Gallery of Art Washington, D.C. | 
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.
