The Vicomtesse de Vaudreuil, 1785. Additional Info: On an oval panel, a young woman poses in front of a landscape. Smiling slightly, she looks candidly out at the viewer. The sitter, Victoire-Pauline de Riquet de Caraman, was an aristocrat, and her status improved when she married Jean-Louis, Vicomte de Vaudreuil in 1781. The artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun emphasized the Vicomtesse's status and refinement by carefully depicting her fashionable hat, silk dress, and gauze scarf, collar, and cuffs. Displaying her education, the Vicomtesse places her right thumb in her book to mark her place, as if she has been interrupted while reading.
