Marie Antoinette in 1788 - two versions of a portrait by Vigée Le Brun


The version in the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (April 16, 1755, Paris – March 30, 1842, Paris), French artist, one of the most celebrated portrait painters of her day, of course, and recognized by many as the most important female painter of the eighteenth century.

The version in the collection of the château de Versailles. I really have no way of knowing, but I think this may be the second version.
