"The Duchess de Polignac" is a notable portrait by the French painter Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, depicting Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, the Duchess de Polignac, who was a close friend and confidante of Queen Marie Antoinette. Vigée Le Brun, considered one of the most prominent female artists of the 18th century, was renowned for her portraiture and her association with the French aristocracy, which provided her with numerous commissions from the highest echelons of society.

The portrait captures the Duchess de Polignac in an intimate and informal pose, which was a signature style of Vigée Le Brun, deviating from the more rigid and formal portraiture of the time. This approach allowed the artist to convey the personality and grace of her sitters, making her works highly sought after. The Duchess is often depicted with an air of casual elegance, embodying the refined yet relaxed atmosphere of the French court before the Revolution.

Vigée Le Brun's relationship with her subjects was deeply personal, as evidenced by the warmth and sensitivity in her portraits. The painting of the Duchess de Polignac is no exception, reflecting both the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and character of her sitter, and the close bond between the two women. The portrait is not only a testament to the artist's technical prowess but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the lives of the French aristocracy on the eve of a tumultuous period in French history.

The artwork is significant in the oeuvre of Vigée Le Brun, as it exemplifies her contribution to the evolution of portraiture during the late 18th century. It also highlights the role of women artists in a predominantly male-dominated field, marking Vigée Le Brun as a trailblazer for future generations of female painters. The portrait of the Duchess de Polignac remains an important piece in the study of French art and the cultural landscape of the pre-revolutionary era.
