The Count of Provence by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun

On June 16, 2025, the Palace de Versailles acquired by pre-emption a pastel portrait of the Count of Provence, brother of Louis XVI and future Louis XVIII, painted by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and commissioned by Cromot du Bourg, Superintendent of the Houses and Estates of the Count of Provence. This first royal portrait by the artist, dating from 1776, marks a turning point in her career and illustrates her remarkable mastery of pastel, notably through a lively, dynamic style of colored cross-hatching inspired by Jean-Baptiste Perronneau.
