"Self Portrait" by Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun is a notable work by the prominent 18th-century French artist, who is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential female painters of her time. Born in Paris in 1755, Élisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun achieved fame and recognition for her portraiture, which skillfully combined Rococo charm with Neoclassical dignity. Her self-portraits, in particular, are celebrated for their technical proficiency, elegance, and the insight they provide into the artist's self-perception and the role of women artists in a male-dominated profession.

This self-portrait, painted in 1782 when Vigée-Lebrun was 27 years old, is a testament to her self-assuredness and artistic identity. It showcases her at the easel, brush in hand, as she engages directly with the viewer through a confident and inviting gaze. The painting is not only a display of her technical skill but also serves as a personal statement of her status as a professional artist at a time when women were often excluded from official art institutions, such as the French Royal Academy, to which she was admitted in 1783.

The composition and style of the portrait reflect the influence of both the Rococo and the emerging Neoclassical styles. Vigée-Lebrun's attire and the soft, diffused lighting are reminiscent of the Rococo's grace and lightness, while the clear, smooth lines and the poised self-presentation suggest the influence of Neoclassicism. The portrait is also significant for its autobiographical content, as it captures the artist at a pivotal moment in her career, on the cusp of her ascension to the heights of European art circles.

"Self Portrait" by Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun is housed in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. It remains an important work for the study of women's history, art history, and the broader cultural context of the late 18th century. The painting continues to draw the admiration of art historians and the general public alike for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of the artist's resilience and talent in an era that was often inhospitable to women's professional ambitions.
