Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Self-Portrait with Daughter Julie

Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, Self-Portrait with Daughter Julie

During the 40 year period from 1778 to 1818 Vigée Le Brun painted 37 self portraits. 17 were originals and 20 were copies. We've got a copy of one of those self-portraits on the wall of our bedroom. Seeing it at The Kimbell Museum, she struck me as so sweet that I wanted one to take home. It never occurred to me that there would be more than one. I find this portrait with her daughter to be equally as sweet.
