The Portrait of a Lady is considered one of Henry James' best works, and it was his first large commercial success. The book was published in serial installments simultaneously in MacMillan's Magazine (in England) and the Atlantic. Up until this point, James had not made much money from his writing, although his novel The American was relatively successful. He was able to negotiate good terms for The Portrait of a Lady - and thus to make quite a bit of money from the novel.
