Julie Le Brun Looking in a Mirror
Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun French
Not on view
Vigée Le Brun adored her daughter Julie (1780–1819) and painted many pictures of her as she matured. In this composition, the portraitist ingeniously presents the child in both profile and full face. Drawing on the bond between them, she captures Julie’s serious, intimate gaze.
