Madame d'Aguesseau de Fresnes
by VIGÉE-LEBRUN, Élisabeth, Oil on panel, 107 x 83 cm
The sitter of this portrait, Madame d’Aguesseau de Fresnes belonged by birth and by marriage to several families of France’s nobilities. The portrait depicts her seated on a sofa upholstered in green lampas with a floral design. Her costume was certainly devised by Vig�e-Lebrun, who enjoyed dressing her sitters to suit her own sense of style.
