Elisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun (1755-1842), also known as Madame Le Brun, was a French portrait painter, especially of women, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Her artistic style is generally considered part of the aftermath of Rococo with elements of an adopted Neoclassical style. She gained renown in particular for her self-portraits and depictions of courtly women, especially Queen Marie Antoinette.
