As the current article is about the Sargent painting rather than about Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau herself (who, by the way, was also painted by other artists of the era), I propose moving this article to something like "Portrait of Madame X". Other thoughts? -- Infrogmation 19:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

  • It was previously under the title "Portrait of Madame X" but it's now a redirect from that. Does anyone know why? And since it is an article about the painting rather than the woman, I think it ought to be under the "Portrait" title. --Kerowyn 23:42, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
As no objections have surfaced, I will move the current "Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau" to "Portrait of Madame X", a title reflecting the actual subject of the article. I will then make a minimal stub start on "Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau" which I hope will be filled out into an article as it should be. -- Infrogmation 14:50, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
