About the piece
Painted in 1789, this luminous oil on panel portrait captures Madame d'Aguesseau de Fresnes with the characteristic softness and grace of Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. The subject is depicted in a stylish turban-like headdress and a gold-flecked gown, leaning comfortably against plush green velvet cushions in a serene, atmospheric setting.
