	Mme du Barry-1789 oil on canvas Private collection Mme du Barry is 46 years old in this portrait. "The third portrait I made of Mme Du barry [was begun] towards the middle of September 1789....I had painted the head and traced the outline of the body and arm....My fear reached a peak and my only thought was to leave France, so I had to abandon the painting half finished. I do not know by what stroke of good fortune M.le Comte Louis de Narbonne found himself in possession of it during my absence; on my return to France, he gave it to me and I have only just completed it" Vigee Le Brun. The painting was finished around 1820. According to her memoirs Vigée Le Brun painted three portraits of her: 1781 Countess du Barry (w/straw hat), 1782 Mme.du Barry (full length w/wreath in hand), 1789 Mme.du Barry.
