Self-portrait of Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun

Self-Portrait Painting Marie Antoinette is an oil-on-canvas painting by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun from 1790. It is held in the collection of the Uffizi in Florence. The painting shows Le Brun in a black silk robe with a red sash, pausing mid-brushstroke before an outlined image. Le Brun painted the work in Rome after fleeing France to escape the French Revolution in 1789. She conceived the work as a demonstration of her support for the French Queen. She intended to give the work to the Grand Duke of Tuscany for the gallery that he maintained of artists' self-portraits.
