Description
This lot features a hand-colored engraving after Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun (1755 - 1842), an 18th century French portraitist. Thanks to patronage from Marie Antoinette and other members of the French nobility, her career flourished. Vigée Le Brun painted more than 30 portraits of the queen and her family but was ultimately forced to flee the country during the French Revolution. She lived and worked for some years in Italy, Austria, and Russia, where she continued painting portraits of the aristocracy. Her paintings were critically acclaimed in Rome, and she was elected to the Accademia di San Luca. Vigée Le Brun left a legacy of 660 portraits and 200 landscapes. This lot features a ca. 1800's engraving print of her famous portrait of Marie Antoinette and her children, painted 1787. Color printed mezzotint with added hand color. Excellent Condition. Image Measures 19" x 14.5" (includes frame). Please View Photos for Details. Shipping Available.
