"Madame Gautreau (unfinished)" is an oil painting by the prominent American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent, depicting Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, a Parisian socialite known for her beauty and the subject of Sargent's more famous work, "Portrait of Madame X" (1884). This lesser-known, unfinished portrait is believed to have been created in the same period as "Portrait of Madame X," during the early 1880s when Sargent was establishing his reputation as a portrait artist in Paris.

Unlike the polished and controversial "Portrait of Madame X," which caused a scandal due to its provocative portrayal and led to a critical backlash against Sargent, "Madame Gautreau (unfinished)" presents a more relaxed and informal depiction of Gautreau. The unfinished state of the painting offers a rare glimpse into Sargent's artistic process, revealing his method of building up a composition through broad, fluid brushstrokes and a subdued palette before refining the details.

The painting captures Gautreau in a moment of repose, with parts of the canvas left bare, and the figure sketched in with a loose, expressive hand. The unfinished quality of the work highlights Sargent's skill in conveying the essence of his sitter's character and the immediacy of the moment, despite the lack of completion. The artwork remains a testament to Sargent's fascination with Gautreau's enigmatic persona and his mastery of portraiture.

"Madame Gautreau (unfinished)" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context, as it reflects the social dynamics and gender expectations of the late 19th-century Parisian high society. The painting is a valuable piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Sargent's work, offering insight into his creative process and his relationship with one of his most intriguing muses. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance.
