At one point
it was thought that the person Sargent gave this to (D. Vergeses) was
the subject but it was later believed that it probbaly wasn't.
From Andy Yelenak (Fri,

I've attached a shot of the museum's title card too. This is a small
painting. I've included a poor shot of it in it's frame just for scale.
I love the single stab of paint indicating the right wrist.
Notes:
Special thanks to Andy
Yelenak, an artist himself and a
contributing friend of the JSS Gallery, for taking this picture to
share with us.
