Decorate your walls with a 19th century portrait featuring a reproduction of the portrait of the Duchess of Coutances by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard! A Duchess of the Breton aristocracy, she was immortalized by the famous portraitist of the Ancien Régime, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, recognized for her talent and her portraits filled with symbolism and feminine emotions, in an artistic world still anchored in the strict etiquette of art salons, where artistic freedoms are still limited. Born in Paris on April 11, 1749, into a bourgeois family, the youngest daughter of a haberdasher in Paris, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard trained with the miniaturist François-Élie Vincent from adolescence (around 1763), then learned pastels with Maurice-Quentin de La Tour (until 1774), before turning to oil painting under the direction of François-André. Admitted to the Académie de Saint-Luc in 1767; she exhibited there from 1774. In 1783, she became one of the first women admitted to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, alongside Élisabeth Vigée-Le Brun, a victory for the advancement of feminist rights in the 18th century! This portrait is a tribute to this renowned portraitist, often in the shadow of the better-known Vigée Lebrun. Equally talented, she contributed to highlighting human feelings in portraits, rather than the strict and framed side of the paintings of the old regime.
