Comtesse de la Châtre 1789

This portrait of Comtesse de la Châtre was painted in 1789 by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, one of the most celebrated portraitists of the late 18th century. The painting shows the Comtesse seated on a luxurious green chaise lounge, dressed in a simple white gown with a blue sash and a large hat adorned with black ribbons. The composition highlights her grace and elegance, reflecting the artistic style of the French Rococo period. The delicate brushstrokes and soft lighting create a sense of refinement and sophistication, characteristic of Le Brun's work.
