Image description

By posing the boy looking over his shoulder and by angling his hat over his forehead, Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun has achieved a lovely image of youthful bravado. The portrait—very likely the artist's brother Etienne at the age of 15—is probably the one the artist described in her memoirs as "my brother in schoolboy's dress." In an age known for its portraits, Vigée-Lebrun was recognized for her outstanding representations of individual sitters. She created this portrait when she herself was only 18 years old.
