Porcelain painting of Madame Vigée Le Brun and her daughter, 19th century

This porcelain painting in the KPM style dates from the 19th century, and depicts the famous painting Madame Vigée Le Brun and her daughter by French painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun in 1789.

This self-portrait was painted for Charles Claude Flahaut de La Billarderie, comte d’Angiviller, director of the king’s buildings.

Seized during the French Revolution, the work is now housed in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.

The very affectionate embrace between mother and daughter is perfectly faithful to the original work, and from a technical point of view, the colors, shading and finesse of the line are remarkable.

A charming, old-fashioned object, easy to place at home in a bookcase, on a dressing table or to add charm to a lost space!
