After Elisabeth Vigée le Brun (1755-1842)
oil on canvas
Self portrait of the artist
21 x 17in.
Estimate £300-500

Oil on canvas looking to be a little dirty and not touched for many years, overall appearance suggests that this is an overpainted print with fine detail as a base and then mostly oil paint over the top, particularly emphasised around her hair, face and the white lacework, some scattered dirt marks showing around the edges notably in the corners where there is some white mould, a small monogram in the lower right corner, housed in old glazed gilt gesso frame which is now looking a little tired, no labels or inscriptions verso.
