I am in sympathy with Claudemir on this painting which is not among my favorite Sargent works either. For the many of us who hold Sargent with the highest regard it is very difficult to note anything about his efforts that seem to question his choices and execution. The painting of Madame Edougard Pailleron however has left me with a few questions. It is puzzling that Madame seems to be balancing on one leg or preparing to do a dance or jig of some kind. She seems to be a cut out and placed in an open field and is unlike most of Sargent
