One oil study for this work depicts the central subject holding out a glass of champagne. A series of pencil sketches for this painting show the subject reclining, lying in profile, and kneeling on a nearby but not pictured couch, and many studies were done at a house in Paramé. A barely visible gold ornament on a piece of furniture in this work is the same color as that table's edge. The central figure of this work looks to the left and wears a garment with jeweled straps. This painting depicts the pale wife of Pierre Gautreau in a form-fitting black satin dress. For 10 points, name this work of John Singer Sargent.
