The artist paints herself outdoors in a wide straw hat and a soft dress, holding her brushes. She was Marie Antoinette's favourite portraitist.
Why it's great for language
Clear portrait with clothes, hat and tools — strong for describing people, clothes and jobs.
A gentle note
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun's work fits describing people, jobs & occupations, colours better than "present simple". Try one of those focuses, or pick another artist from the gallery.
