About the piece
Painted in 1788, this masterful work by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun captures her contemporary, the artist Hubert Robert, with a sense of informal dignity. He is depicted with his tools of trade—a palette and paint-stained brushes—rendered with the luminous skin tones and confident brushwork that made Vigée Le Brun a favorite of the French court.
