Dear Kevin, Thanks for responding to my email. I enclosed a couple of photos of a portrait of a lady that I have looked at all of my life - over 50 years. I have always wondered who she was. It was found in Newark, N.J. by my grandmother who lived in a Polish, Russian, Jewish immigrant neighborhood. Is there any chance it might be one of Vigee Le Brun?

I live between NYC and Phila. and would be glad to travel to have this painting verified. Thanks for your help.

P.S. I love the web page."

Dear Team, the photos are not the best but it is obviously a beautiful painting . It is definately a painting of Vigee Le Brun. I don't know if it is by her but the quality seems to be high. It seems to be an old painting and at least a very good copy. Please email Lois with any information you might offer and info me. Charles, Please provide her with your past suggestion and address of a contacting Baillio. I have provided big images for you to view of her photos. KJKelly 6 Sept 98
