John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925) | Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau) | 1883–84

The year is 1899 and the beautiful Virginie Gautreau, also known as “Madame X,” has been killed in the Museum during an exclusive evening gala—all fiction, of course. Fast-forward to the present, where modern-day sleuths like you are called upon to solve the crime this Friday. Your assignment? To deduce who killed her, with what weapon, and in which period room.http://met.org/U7r8Ze
