Children of Baron D'Esthal - 1768-72
oil on canvas, oval 28-1/4 x 23-1/8 in
Olivier Blanc provides a good argument that the painting was done ca. 1768-69,
and believes these to be the children of the baronne d'Estat, by the prosecutor
Omer Louis François Joly De Fleury: Michel-Angélique d'Estat
dit Bellecour, Baron d'Estat, born about 1762, and his sister Denise d'Estat
born in 1764, future baronne Gothereau De Billens. Both died at the guillotine
in 1794. Or the girl may have been another sister, Agathe Louise Marie de
La Ferté, born circa January 1767, who Vigee Le Brun painted in 1779. View a more detailed black and white version of this painting.

Son of J.B. Le Moyne, the sculptor -
1772
pastel
Vigee Le Brun was a friend of the sculptor, J. B. Le
Moyne (Art Page 78). She didn't list this
portrait of his son. The boy was probably Le Moyne's younger son,
Pierre-Hippolyte Le Moyne (1748-1828).
