Self Portrait in a Straw Hat by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun

1782

Oil on canvas

The pose is deliberately modelled on Rubens's Portrait of Susanna Lunden (also in the National Gallery's collection), which was formerly, but incorrectly, known as Le Chapeau de Paille (The Straw Hat).

Vigée Le Brun offers us a highly calculated image in which she explicitly associates herself with a great artist and his sitter. Looking at us directly with an open expression as she holds the tools of her profession (a palette and brushes), she presents herself as an elegant society lady and as an accomplished professional artist. By posing outdoors - and not, for example, in a studio - she replicates the contrasting light effects in Rubens's portrait by combining ordinary daylight with direct sunlight.

Gazette des atours de Marie-Antoinette

A few images of the book. It's in two parts. One part being the reproduction of the Gazette itself, a book of fabric samples relating to the wardrobe of Marie Antoinette. The other part, only in French, goes into a little more detail about the Gazette and fashion of the time. And may take some time for me to go through because my French is atrocious.🙃

(Thanks to @vivelareine for pointing out this was on sale again!)
