拍品資料及來源

For this portrait of an unknown lady, Augustin has followed closely the composition used by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun for her portrait of Marie Gabrielle de Sinéty, Duchesse de Gramont-Caderousse, which was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1784. A signed variant copy by Augustin of the Vigée Le Brun is in the Musée Condé, Chantilly (inv. no. OA1358).
