Lot Details
After Elisabeth Louise Vigée-LeBrun (French, 1755-1842) San Luca self-portrait Oil on paper laid on card 8-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches (21.6 x 16.5 cm) (sheet, oval) Bears signature and inscription on the reverse: Vigée Le Brun Roma / Harry PROVENANCE: Private collection, Oregon. The present work is a faithful copy (likely Italian) of Vigée Le Brun's 1790 Self-Portrait on canvas in the collection of the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca, Rome. Interestingly, the sitter's features are somewhat less delicate and more Italian in appearance in the copy, and the garment is grey-green rather than blue as it is in the original.
