"Portrait of Madame Labille-Guiard and Her Pupils" is a significant 1785 oil on canvas painting by the French artist Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, an accomplished portraitist and one of the few female members of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in pre-revolutionary France. The painting is notable for its depiction of the artist herself surrounded by two of her female students, demonstrating Labille-Guiard's advocacy for women's education and professional development in the arts during a time when such opportunities were limited for women.

Measuring 83 x 59.5 inches (211 x 151 cm), the artwork serves as both a self-portrait and a group portrait, showcasing Labille-Guiard at her easel, dressed in the lavish attire of the period, while her pupils, Marie Gabrielle Capet and Marie Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond, attentively observe her work. The painting is celebrated for its technical skill, the finesse in rendering the sumptuous fabrics and details, and its subtle commentary on the role of women artists in the 18th century.

The composition is carefully constructed to emphasize the dignity and seriousness of the women's artistic pursuits. Labille-Guiard's inclusion of her students in the portrait can be interpreted as a strategic move to highlight the legitimacy of women as professional artists capable of both creating and teaching art. The painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1785, where it garnered attention and acclaim, contributing to Labille-Guiard's reputation as a leading portraitist of her time.

"Portrait of Madame Labille-Guiard and Her Pupils" is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. The work remains an important testament to the role of women in the arts and the challenges they faced in gaining recognition and respect in a male-dominated field.
