Gorgeous miniature. Nineteenth-century? Obviously based on Vigée-Lebrun's portrait of her with her children - but minus the headress, of course, and her coiffure brought more in line with a nineteenth-century sensibility...? : ) Beautiful, at any rate.
Yes this is after one of my favorite artist Vigée-Lebrun. It is a spectacular 19th century copy but I don’t know that much about it other then it is housed in the Louvre in Paris.
I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
