Vigée Le Brun’s sister-in-law (1764–1811) belonged to a theatrical family and was a talented amateur actress and singer. This intimate portrait of her is skillfully and quickly painted. Thick impasto gives substance to the ruff, which is fastened with a pink bow glistening with blue highlights. The frizzy, slightly powdered hair is rendered with a multitude of arcs and swirls.
