The 1882 "imagery" of the painting The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit by John Singer Sargent has been compared to Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children.[4] Sargent had seen Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children at the 1879 Salon.[4] The 1923 painting Emma and Her Children by George Wesley Bellows has also been compared to Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children.[5] Sam Ratelle has said the painting inspired the Black Christian Siriano gown of Billy Porter worn by Porter at the 91st Academy Awards.[6]
