Eseguita dal pittore Halil Pasha (1857-1939), la Lady in Gloves del 1886, anticipò l'altra tela, la Lady in Gloves, nota anche come "Madam X", (1889) per la quale, al pittore Turco gli fu assegnato un premio alla Mostra Internazionale di Parigi del 1889.
La modella della Madam X, fu quasi certamente una scrittrice, la moglie del pittore Aliye Hanim.
La Madam X fu elogiata dai principali critici dell'epoca per la sua "finitura nitida" e fu paragonata al lavoro del pittore Francese Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904).

Painted in 1886, the present work anticipates Pasha's Lady in Gloves, dated 1889, for which the Turkish impressionist painter Halil Pasha (1857-1939) was awarded a prize at the 1889 Paris International Exhibition.
The sitter for the 1889 painting (also known as Madam X) was almost certainly the painter's wife Aliye Hanim.
It was praised by leading critics of the time for its 'sharp finish' and likened to the work of Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904) | © Sotheby's
