Original – Self-portrait of Marie-Gabrielle Capet (1761–1818), a French Neoclassical painter. She came from a modest background and her previous background and artistic training is unknown, but in 1781 she became the pupil of the French painter Adelaide Labille-Guiard in Paris. She excelled as a portrait painter, and her works include oil paintings, watercolours and miniatures.
Reason
Another gem from the Google Art Project. Marie-Gabrielle Capet. A lesser known neoclassical female painter. A student of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. She's seen it all folks. The Ancien Régime. The French Revolution. And of course, Napoleon. And she still managed to be a quite an admirable personality and painter throughout all the turmoil.
