 Elizabeth Vigee Lebrun
Marie Louise Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun was an exceptional woman and female painter, particularly of portraits, her style combining Rococo grace and delicacy with Neo-Classical ideals of simplicity and purity.
She was born in Paris in 1755 to Louis Vigée, a minor portraitist, and Jeanne Maissin, a hairdresser.
Vigée-Lebrun studied the works that surrounded her and by copying these paintings she received "the best lessons I could conceivably have obtained." After six months, Lebrun asked his tenant to marry him, and although she was not too keen on the idea, her mother insisted upon the marriage.
