Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun (? – ?)
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755-1842) was a leading portraitist of 18th-century French aristocracy, famed for her elegant depictions of Marie Antoinette and other prominent figures. Her Rococo and Neoclassical style captured both likeness and personality with refined beauty.
Shuvalov (1727–1797) had been an imperial paramour, the lover of Empress Elizabeth II of Russia. One of the foremost intellectuals in Russia during the Enlightenment, he promoted the development of the arts and sciences. According to Vigée Le Brun, “He combined courteous manners with obliging politeness, and as he was a fine man, he was sought out by the best society.” This sympathetic portrait was probably painted posthumously.
