Woman in a Turban - 1793 oil on canvas, 33 1/4" x 29" (84.4 x 73.7 cm) National Museum, Warsaw signed and dated at lower right: l. Vigée Le Brun/Vienne/1793. Haldane Macfall, Louise-Elisabeth VIGEE-LEBRUN (2015), p. 150 (color); Iwona Danielewicz, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun and Poles (2016), p. 113 (color). Jan Bialostocki and Michal Walicki, Spis portretow polskich Vigée Le Brun, suggest that the sitter was Helena Przezdziecka (1753-1821), who on 26 April 1771 married Michael Hieronim, Prince Radziwill, Palatin of Wilno (10 October 1744, Krakow - 28 March 1831, Warsaw). However, Danielewicz makes clear that this is not possible, as the sitter's features do not resemble those of Helena Radziwill, who also famously had grey hair from an early age. Furthermore, Helena Radziwill owned other works by VLB, including a portrait of her daughter, Aniela Radziwill, and she corresponded with VLB, without there being any evidence that she had sat for the artist herself. Finally, the painting had long been in the possession of the Przezdziecki family, which considered the sitter to be anonymous. Jana Talkenberg notes a strong resemblance to countess Konstancja Malgorzata Rzewuska, nee Lubomirska (1761, Valley, Bavaria - 11 October 1840, Kamieniec), a daughter of Prince Stanislaw Lubomirski (25 December 1722, Lancut - 12 August 1782, Lancut) and his wife, Princess Izabela Czartoryska. In 1782, Konstancja married Seweryn Rzewuski (13 March 1743, Podhorce - 11 December 1811, Vienna). One source states that she lived in Vienna from 1792, so VLB could have painted her there in 1793. Konstancja and her husband had three children, (1) Waclaw Seweryn Rzewuski (15 December 1784, Lwow – 14 May 1831), explorer, poet, orientalist and horse expert; (2) Isabella Rzewuska, whom on 9 May 1812 married Count Ferdinand Ernst Joseph Gabriel von Waldstein und Wartenberg (24 March 1762, Vienna – 26 May 1823, Vienna); and (3) MariaRzewuska (1786-1832), who married Jaroslaw Potocki (1784-1831).
