She was banished from Court out of spite after the King’s death, and was eventually executed during the Revolution.⠀ .⠀ How Vigée Le Brun first met Jeanne is a mystery, but the artist would go on to paint her portrait three times.⠀ .⠀ Élisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842), ‘Portrait of Madame du Barry (1743–1793), three-quarter-length, seated in a landscape’.
