After Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun Portrait W/Daughter Art

During the course of her lifetime, Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun painted many self-portraits, including her 1789 Self-Portrait with Her Daughter Julie. In this intimate painting, she is seated on a bench as her daughter Julie leans into her body, and the arms of mother and daughter circle around each other. What differentiates this work from other self-portraits is her choice of attire. In this work, she appears to be wearing a one-shouldered dress that resembles the ancient Greek chiton.
