 John Sargent's Madame X
When Madame X was shown at the Salon of 1884 it became instantly a salacious painting and a scandal in French society as a result of its sexual suggestiveness of her pose and the pail pasty color of her skin.
Madame Gautreau (1859-1915) who’s reputation was apparently destroyed and John left France shortly to never truly regain his former standing as the darling of Paris.
As far back as 1881 he met Madame Gautreau in Paris society, where she moved rather conspicuously, shining as a star of considerable beauty, and drawing attention as to one dressed in advance of her epoch.

 Madame X
To Pauline Frederick falls the role of "Madame X," who is banished from home, husband and son early in her married life by an unfortunate circumstance which brands her as untrue in the stern eyes of her husband.
But "Madame X" is truer than that to itself--and, appropriately and happily, the woman dies at the point where the future becomes impossible.
In makeup and acting she gives Madame X definiteness, and, by her restraint avoids the ever present danger of letting her become simply a burlesque tragedy queen.

John Singer Sargent's most famous portrait, Madame X (Madame Gautreau) (Pl. I), was painted in France in 1883 and 1884 and hung in the artist's London studio for more than thirty years before it was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

 Aesthetic Realism and John Singer Sargent's Madame X
Sargent chose this pose for Madame Gautreau carefully: her body boldly facing forward while her head is turned in profile.
One of the reasons I am so affected by Madame X is that Sargent was trying to present this woman with entirety --there is a mingling of admiration, criticism and comprehension.

 Madame X (Text Only)
There is no question but that Madame Gautreau would side with Madame Merle in this dispute, and probably be just as dismissive of Isabel's commitment to the existence of a naked self outside of social definitions and beyond forms of expression.
To complete the artistic parallel, if Madame Merle is a figure out of Sargent, Isabel is a figure out of Eakins, a figure who reminds us how separate she is from any costume she happens to wear at the moment and how costumes do not, cannot contain or express her.
Insofar as they stage their effects and self-expressions and are not merely identical with them or unselfconsciously defined by them, we are aware of a self beyond the costume, behind the gesture, underneath the role, a self not completely represented by the part it plays.
