Architect Stanford White, of the influential firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/mckim-mead-white\/\">McKim, Mead &amp; White<\/a>, appeared in the first season, and opera singer Christina Nilsson, who performed on the inaugural night of the original Metropolitan Opera house, showed up in the second. At the opening of season three, portraitist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/john-singer-sargent-1856-1925-american\/art\/\">John Singer Sargent<\/a> materializes to paint Bertha Russell\u2019s daughter, Gladys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sargent was, in fact, a preferred painter of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/duveens\/\">Gilded Age beau monde<\/a>, creating hundreds upon hundreds of artworks in his career across Europe and America. \u201cCommissioning a portrait, especially by an artist such as Sargent, was a symbol of wealth, culture and one\u2019s status as a member of the social elite,\u201d Lori Garst, the curator of the <a href=\"http:\/\/biltmore.com\/\">Biltmore<\/a> estate in Asheville, North Carolina, told <a href=\"https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/art-world\/john-singer-sargent-the-gilded-age-hbo-2660432\">Artnet<\/a>. For the endlessly striving Bertha Russell, who often uses her children as pawns in her quest for social dominance, having her daughter sit for this fashionable artist is perfectly fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best known of Sargent\u2019s many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/portrait-paintings\/\">portraits<\/a>, <em>Madame X<\/em>, caused quite a stir with its bold sexuality when it was first shown, in 1884. In <em>The Gilded Age<\/em>, the Sargent character notes that he had to repaint the strap, which he originally depicted as slipping off his subject&#8217;s shoulder. For fans looking to disappear further into the world of the celebrated portraitist<em>, Madame X<\/em> and many other of his works are currently on view in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/metropolitan-museum-of-art\/\">the Metropolitan Museum\u2019s<\/a> \u201cSargent &amp; Paris\u201d exhibition. The Russells would certainly approve.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-carousel\">\n\t\t\n<h3 class=\"pdp-carousel-heading\">Shop Portrait Paintings on 1stDibs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper block-b35b1c15\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper gallery\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"pdp-item--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/portrait-paintings\/john-singer-sargent-la-carmencita-john-singer-sargent\/id-a_15065522\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/john-singer-sargent-1856-1925-american-paintings-la-carmencita-by-john-singer-sargent-for-sale\/a_186\/a_150655221725659579855\/31_9763_1_master.jpg?width=350&#038;auto=webp&#038;quality=80\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"La Carmencita, 19th century, by John Singer Sargent\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"350px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"100%\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>La Carmencita<\/em>, 19th century, by John Singer Sargent\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"pdp-item--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/portrait-paintings\/tiberio-titi-early-17th-century-tiberio-titi-portrait-gentleman-oil-on-panel\/id-a_15951932\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/tiberio-titi-paintings-early-17th-century-by-tiberio-titi-portrait-of-a-gentleman-oil-on-panel-for-sale\/a_17012\/1741791768229\/Tiberio_Titi_V1_master.jpg?width=350&#038;auto=webp&#038;quality=80\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Portrait of a Gentleman, early 17th century, by Tiberio Titi\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"350px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"100%\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Portrait of a Gentleman<\/em>, early 17th century, by Tiberio Titi\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"pdp-item--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/figurative-paintings\/elijah-olanase-dont-be-perfect-be-real-21st-century-contemporary-figurative-portrait-women\/id-a_15716312\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/elijah-olanase-paintings-dont-be-perfect-be-real-21st-century-contemporary-figurative-portrait-women-for-sale\/a_17172\/a_157163121737888454471\/IMG_4045_master.jpeg?width=350&#038;auto=webp&#038;quality=80\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Don't Be Perfect, Be Real,  2025, by Elijah Olanase\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"350px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"100%\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Don&#8217;t Be Perfect, Be Real<\/em>,  2025, by Elijah Olanase\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-firstdibs-pdp-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"pdp-item--link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/paintings\/portrait-paintings\/louis-hersent-miss-virginie-lupin\/id-a_15952762\/\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/a.1stdibscdn.com\/louis-hersent-2-paintings-miss-virginie-lupin-for-sale\/a_28342\/1741798415783\/galerie_Charvet_42101_master.jpg?width=350&#038;auto=webp&#038;quality=80\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Miss Virginie Lupin, around 1820, by Louis Hersent\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"350px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"100%\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdp-item__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Miss Virginie Lupin<\/em>, around 1820, by Louis Hersent\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although most of the characters of The Gilded Age are fictional through and through, the show\u2019s writers tend to pull in real-life figures when it comes to the art and culture of the time.
