EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Elisabeth Louise Vigee-Lebrun, titled "Self Portrait in a Straw Hat" showcases the artist's remarkable talent and her ability to capture her own essence on canvas. Painted in 1782, this oil masterpiece measures 97.8x70.5 cm and is proudly displayed at the National Gallery in London. Vigee-Lebrun's choice of subject matter is intriguing as she portrays herself wearing a fashionable straw hat, which was considered unconventional for women during that era. The delicate brushstrokes bring out the intricate details of her attire, highlighting the elegance and grace with which she presents herself. The artist's gaze meets ours with an air of confidence and intelligence, revealing her strong personality and artistic prowess. Her eyes sparkle with determination while her lips curve into a subtle smile, hinting at both vulnerability and resilience. Through this self-portrait, Vigee-Lebrun invites us into her world - a world where art becomes an extension of oneself. She effortlessly combines elements of classical beauty with contemporary fashion trends, showcasing not only her technical skill but also challenging societal norms. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to the 18th century when female artists were often overlooked or dismissed. This artwork serves as a testament to Vigee-Lebrun's talent and perseverance as she defied expectations to become one of history's most celebrated painters.
