 | 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.
