Mme de Bonneuil - 1773
oil on canvas, oval
Musée des Beaux-Arts, Caen
Identified by Olivier Blanc, a biographer of Mme de Bonneuil and her family.
He has also identified a pastel and another
painting of this sitter, both by Vigee Le
Brun. View a black and white image that was taken before the painting's conservation in the 1930s, Olivier Blanc feels that the conservation was very bad, and that since then people have been unable to identify the sitter, first suggesting it was Mme de Guiche, and then suggesting the sitter is Mme de Magnanville. He says that if people look at the older black and white, and compare it to other portraits of Mme de Bonneuil, they will realize it is her.
