About the piece
Painted in 1782 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, this portrait captures Madame du Barry with the soft, luminous skin and masterful fabric textures for which the artist is celebrated. She is depicted in a park-like setting, wearing a luxurious gown and an ornate hat adorned with ostrich feathers and roses, holding a delicate floral wreath.
