Portraits by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, none of them of Marie Antoinette. Living from 1755 to 1842 she evaded the guillotine, painting ladies in Italy and Russia instead. A few children tossed in, too.

On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
