Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun French 1755-1842 “Portrait of Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva” 1799 Oil on canvas

Photo is taken by: @robertpuffjr

Born into an artistic family, Vigée-Lebrun took drawing lessons from her father and began working as a professional artist as a teenager.

She became Queen Marie Antoinette’s official portrait painter, and in 1783 she was admitted into the French Royal Academy.

Forced into exile at the onset of the French Revolution, Vigée-Lebrun continued to be a sought-after portraitist.

While living in Russia, she painted this striking portrait of Natalia Zakharovna Kolycheva, a member of the nobility.

The artist presented her sitter as a refined and educated woman: she reads a French play and wears fashionable clothing, gold jewelry, and a classicizing hair accessory.

The artist was both celebrated and criticized for idealizing her sitters through the supple brushwork, rich hues, and soft lighting so skillfully demonstrated here.

Women Who Work? Graphite on Paper, 2017 So much to say about Ivanka Trump. I've always wondered how Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun felt about painting Marie Antoinette. #grabyourwallett #Ivanka #VigéeLeBrun #pencil #occupy #occupydemocrats #occupyart #politicalcartoon #sketchbook #sketch
