"Madame X" or "Portrait of Madame X" is a prominent painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, created in 1884. The subject of the painting is Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, an American socialite who was known for her beauty and was living in Paris at the time. Gautreau became infamous in Parisian high society for her rumored marital indiscretions and her striking appearance, which Sargent hoped to capture in this work.

The painting is characterized by its daring style, with Madame Gautreau depicted in a black satin dress with jeweled straps, a dress that reveals and accentuates her curvaceous figure and pale skin. The pose is unconventional and was considered provocative for the time; Gautreau is shown in profile with her head turned towards the viewer, her nose haughtily tilted, and her right hand on a table, suggesting a sense of aristocratic disdain. The original version featured one jeweled strap hanging off her shoulder, which was later repainted after public outcry over the suggestiveness of the pose.

"Madame X" was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1884, where it caused a scandal due to its perceived sensuality and vanity. The critical backlash was so severe that it tarnished Gautreau's social reputation and led Sargent to repaint the strap of the dress to a more conservative position. Despite the initial negative reception, the painting is now considered a masterpiece of Sargent's career and a classic example of his skill in portraiture.

The work is noted for its technical prowess, the elegance of the subject's pose, and the artist's use of color and light to capture the texture of skin and fabric. The stark, almost monochromatic background focuses the viewer's attention on the figure of Madame Gautreau, with her silhouette sharply defined against the muted tones behind her.

"Madame X" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and remains one of Sargent's most famous and studied works, often cited as an example of his bold approach to portraiture and his ability to capture the nuances of high society at the end of the 19th century.
