Robert
Louis Stevenson is pacing and his wife Fanny is seated in background to the

painting. They thought the composition odd and the depiction of Stevenson
strange and unflattering, just as some people had said about Daughters of

From the Neson Atkins:
Mrs. Cecil
Wade was among the first significant commissions that Sargent
received after his move to London. The painting forms a fascinating pendant to
Madame X. Both paintings stress the hourglass silhouette of the female figure
and the dramatic and elegant profile of the head. Madame X, however, seems
corrupt and jaded,... | GA | igrkio |

 | Madame Paul Poirson 1885 Detroit Institute of Arts Detroit, MI |
In 1883
John Singer Sargent rented a studio owned by Paul Poirson. According to family history this portrait of Poirson's wife was done in lieu of a rent payment. Sargent's friendly relationship with the Poirsons made this work more personal than the business
transaction might suggest.
