ART PAGE 85

Comtesse de Provence - 1782
oil on canvas, Academie Royale
Marie Louise de Savoie (1753-1810) wife of King Louis XVI's brother.
Vigee Le Brun listed “2 Madame, the wife of Monsieur, the King’s brother” for 1778. However, the painting is signed 1782, and was exhibited in 1783 at the Salon de l’Académie Royale. A variant (Art Page 125) was also found. Go to the Comtesse de Provence Page for more information on this painting.

Mme de Verdun - 1776
oil on canvas, 25-1/2 x 21 inches, oval
Vigee Le Brun listed “2 Mme de Verdun” for 1776. A rectangular version appears on Art Page 66.

Princess Sapieha - 1795
oil on canvas, oval, 32 x 25 inches
Painted in Vienna.
This is not the same sitter who appears in "Princess Sapieha, dancing with a shawl," (Art Page 69), and who is also represented in "Princess Sapieha" in a miniature portrait by Auguste Louis Jean-Baptiste Rivière, perhaps after a Vigee Le Brun original. There were many princes called Sapieha, and it's possible this woman was a different Princess Sapieha.
