In April of 2010, I led a tour through the Norton Simon Museum of Art in Pasadena, and we got know this beautiful and proud Countess, painted by Elizabeth Vigée Le Brun.
After you "read" the portrait for yourself, check out the short video on this painting I did for Vigée Le Brun's birthday I did a while back!
Also, the Metropolitan Museum of Art currently has an exhibit devoted to her portraits, and I'm excited to be giving a tour there soon!
