About the piece
Painted in 1803 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, this portrait exemplifies the grace and technical mastery of one of the most celebrated female artists of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The sitter, likely Anne Catherine Augier Vestris, is depicted with a gentle, contemplative expression, her luminous skin and intricate curls framed by a deep blue veil that contrasts beautifully with her golden-yellow gown.
