DiaporamaCountess Ekaterina Vasilievna Skavronskaya
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.
As Vigée Le Brun recalled Countess Skavronskaya (1761–1829): “She was utterly idle all day, she had no education, and her conversation was quite empty. But in spite of all that, thanks to her lovely face and her angelic sweetness, she had an incomparable charm.” In this splendid portrait, the sitter gazes at an oval case that must have contained a miniature portrait of her husband.
