About the piece
Painted in 1786 by the celebrated French artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, this portrait captures Madame Molé-Reymond with a lively, modern charm. The composition expertly balances the soft texture of the oversized fur muff with the luminous sheen of her lavender silk gown and the bold, saturated blue of her plumed hat. This work exemplifies the artist's ability to combine formal elegance with a sense of genuine personality.
