The Black Sash Giovanni Boldini — Italian-French portrait painter
c. 1905
Private collection
 From: Sothebys  

The sitter for The Black Sash is unknown (datable from costume details to 1905); at the time of the painting’s sale from the Baron de Rothschild’s collection, Madame Paulette Howard-Johnston (the daughter of Paul Helleu, a contemporary painter and friend of Boldini’s) suggested the red-headed beauty might be a Mrs. Law, an American socialite who also posed for Helleu.
