Caption

Madame Escudier, c1883. Sargent painted many members of Parisian high society, among them Louise Lefèvre Escudier. In this informal portrait, she is shown close-up, her direct gaze, tilted head, and slight smile suggesting a lively personality. Her copper-colored hair is accentuated by the deep blue background. The gleaming pin, just a dash of white paint against her fashionable black dress, reveals the confident movement of Sargent’s brush.
