About the piece
Painted in 1781, this portrait by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun captures Madame Du Barry with a sense of soft elegance and luminous detail. The artist's characteristic skill is evident in the rendering of the feathered hat, the intricate lace collar, and the gentle, lifelike expression of the sitter set against a deep, dramatic backdrop.
