About the Item

This exquisite portrait of a woman in a striking blue dress is a masterful work by Louis Vigée, painted in pastel on paper, mounted on canvas. Signed by the artist in the lower right, L. Vigée, this piece beautifully captures the elegance and grace of the 18th-century French aristocracy. Louis Vigée (1715–1767), the father of the renowned royal portraitist Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, was known for his delicate pastels and refined portraits. This particular piece is a prime example of his skill, showcasing his ability to convey both the fashion of the time and the subtle expression of his subject. The soft, luminous quality of the pastel medium, combined with the vibrant blue of the woman’s dress, brings an almost ethereal presence to this portrait, making it a timeless representation of 18th-century French portraiture. An exceptional piece for any collector, this work not only exemplifies the high artistic standards of the period but also offers a rare glimpse into the lineage of one of France's most celebrated portrait artists.
