In the original painting he had one of the straps dropping off of her shoulder, and that with all the other elements of the painting in 1884 it was considered scandalous, as it was thought to be revealing much to much and hinting to the ladies indiscreet nature.
This train of thought of course went hand in hand with the type of life style Miss Gautreau lead; as she was the gossip of Paris with the various affairs she had with the affluent men of her time; especially with Dr. Pozzi; who Sargent convinced to introduce him to her, and that led to the portrait; with the result of Sargent having to leave Paris.
Sargent then repainted the shoulder strap and kept the work for more than thirty years, until he sold it to the Metropolitan Museum, considering it to be his best work and asked that the museum conceal the name of the woman posing in the portrait.
