"Self Portrait" by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun is a renowned painting by the prominent 18th-century French artist, known for her exceptional skill in portraiture and her significant role as a female artist during a time when women were rarely accepted in the professional art world. Born in Paris in 1755, Vigée Le Brun became the official portraitist of Marie Antoinette and was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, a testament to her extraordinary talent and influence.

The self-portrait in question, created in 1790, is a testament to Vigée Le Brun's mastery of the Rococo style, characterized by soft colors, graceful figures, and a light, decorative approach. In this work, she presents herself with a confident gaze and a relaxed pose, holding a palette and brushes, which signifies her profession and skill. The painting not only showcases her technical prowess but also serves as a personal statement of her identity as an artist during a time of social and political upheaval.

Vigée Le Brun's self-portraits are often celebrated for their engaging directness and the elegance with which she portrays herself. They are also seen as strategic representations, aimed at enhancing her reputation and asserting her place within the male-dominated art world. Her self-portraits are characterized by a sense of warmth and approachability, which helped to secure her popularity among the French aristocracy and, later, throughout Europe.

The 1790 "Self Portrait" is particularly significant as it was painted during her exile following the French Revolution. The work reflects both her resilience as an artist and her ability to adapt to changing circumstances, as she continued to find success and acclaim abroad. Today, the painting is held in high regard for its historical importance and as a symbol of the artist's enduring legacy. It remains an essential piece for understanding the evolution of female artists in the history of European art and the broader narrative of the Rococo movement and portraiture in the late 18th century.
