Description
Excerpt from The Memoirs of Mme Elizabeth Louise Vigée-Le Brun, 1755-1789
Her good looks and pleasant manner ensured for her a certain social success which was very useful to her in her career as an artist. She received invitations from all quarters and was soon to be found at all the smartest gatherings of Paris, where she was able to Observe the grand manners and brilliant conversations, of which she has left so delightful an account in her Memoirs.
Her first début as an artist before the public was at the exhibition of the Academy of Saint Luc in August 1774, at the age of nineteen. Her fame grew by leaps and bounds. In 1776 she married M. Le Brun, a painter and dealer in pictures.
