拍品专文

In this intimate portrait of a fellow artist, painted in the early part of Vigée Le Brun’s career in c. 1773, the artist demonstrates her impressively refined technique at a young age. Although the identity of the sitter is not known, he bears a clear likeliness to Elizabeth’s brother, Étienne Vigée.

The present work will be included in Joseph Baillio's forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the works of Vigée Le Brun.
