Adélaïde Labille-Guiard’s *Self-Portrait with Two Pupils, Marie Gabrielle Capet (1761–1818) and Marie Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond (died 1788)* is a striking example of Neoclassical portraiture. Painted in 1785, the artwork depicts the artist in her studio, seated and holding a palette and brush, while her two students stand behind her. This dynamic composition, set against a dark background, highlights the artist's skill and professionalism. Her confident pose and serious expression convey her dedication to her craft, and the presence of her students underscores her role as a teacher and mentor. The *Self-Portrait with Two Pupils* is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
