Madame Elisabeth de France (1764–1794)
Adélaide Labille Guiard (? – ?)
A leading Neoclassical portraitist, Adélaide Labille Guiard challenged artistic conventions with works like *Self-Portrait with Two Pupils* and became the first woman admitted to the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture—discover her captivating portraits and revolutionary spirit.
In 1783 Labille-Guiard became one of only four women painters admitted to the French Royal Academy. A leading portraitist, she showed oils and pastels regularly at the Salon. She was also an important teacher for the next generation of women artists, as captured in her self-portrait with two pupils, a landmark painting also in The Met collection. This pastel is a study for a more formal portrait of Madame Elisabeth, the younger sister of Louis XVI. The king’s immediate family, notably his aunts, were key protectors and patrons of Labille-Guiard.
