Musician (1877), The Artist’s Daughter (1878) & Portrait of a Girl (nd). His Musician is also in @NGIreland When you see such technical ability it’s sad to see that he was so cerebral that he could not just allow an authentic emotion to be portrayed in his work.
Soap Bubbles (c1859), Damocles (1866) & The Thorny Path (1873). Some of his subject matter resembles Millais. It is, however, in his free handling of paint & relaxed style that he would evolve art; providing advances that led to Impressionism.

Vigée Le Brun died in Paris, aged 86. Her ravishing work is her epitaph & demonstration of her determination to paint no matter what challenges were thrown at her. Madame Baudin (1835), A Lady (1831) & Aglaé Angélique Gabrielle de Gramont (1824)
Austria (1792-5) saw Le Brun move to a more neoclassical style, reflecting the rise of that school & the revolution in France. Marguerite Porporati (1792), Hyacinthe Gabrielle Roland (1791) & Countess Kaganeck (1792). Her painting of Porporati is a masterpiece
In 1781 the couple toured the Low Countries & Élisabeth was inspired by the art that she saw there & integrated these ideas into her work. Travel to find new sitters was a constant for her. Élisabeth of France (c1782), Self-Portrait (1782) & Portrait of Madame Grand (1783)
