About the piece
Painted in 1791, this elegant work by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun depicts Hyacinthe Gabrielle Roland. The portrait exemplifies the artist's celebrated ability to render light and texture, from the subject's glowing complexion to the rich fabric of her red and black ensemble against a painterly blue backdrop.
