Madame Errazuriz or The Lady in Black c. 1882 - 1883

"Madame Errazuriz or The Lady in Black" is a portrait painting by American artist John Singer Sargent, created between 1882 and 1883. This artwork is a prime example of Sargent’s masterful ability to capture a subject’s personality and elegance in a single pose. The subject, dressed in a black gown and seated with a hint of a fan in her hand, provides an intimate look into the world of the elite, showcasing the artistic techniques of the late 19th century.
