if you haven’t already read this, do so. It is a painting in words… I mean, it is A beautiful story, with angst, based on a real painter and his works and his tribulations. Damen is the painter. Laurent is his muse. Will they ever get around the constraints posed on them by 19th century proprieties and aristocracy?

I did this for purely academic reasons and definitely not because I have been thinking about Good Omens non-stop. Or that I just think this look would really suit Crowley.

The Story of Madame X
John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925) • Madame X (Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau) • 1883-84 • Metropolitan Museum of Art
Photograph of Sargent with what is perhaps his most famous portrait – that of the very wealthy socialite, Madame Gautreau. This is not the original version, though; the one that shocked the art world in 1884 when it was shown at the Paris Salon.
Above is a sketch for the Gautreau portrait. At some point Sargent decided to paint the right strap of her dress seductively off her shoulder. When the portrait was shown in Paris, there was an uproar of disapproval. Madame Gautreau was, apparently, already rumored to be an adultress. Her Singer portrait only added emphasis to the public's criticism of her character. According to the gallery card at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (the painting was on loan from the MET), Gautreau very much liked the painting. What neither she nor Sargent predicted was that it would cause such a stir and be the cause of much conversation, mostly derisive, in the drawing rooms of Paris high society.
Sargent was so upset by the reaction at the Salon and the ensuing buzz that he took the painting back to his studio and repainted the strap in its proper place on the shoulder.
The painting was eventually sold on the condition that its subject not be revealed in the title. It was to be called Madame X.
