Lemoine, a student of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, developed a reputation for her delicate handling of portraiture, often working within the constraints of small-scale formats. The subject is depicted in a seated pose, her posture relaxed yet formal, reflecting the social conventions of the period. She wears a light-coloured gown accented by a blue sash, a colour choice that echoes the upholstery of the chair behind her. Her hair is styled in the voluminous fashion popular in the 1780s, adorned with a matching blue ribbon.\n\nThe composition is contained within an oval frame, a common format for miniatures intended for personal keepsakes or jewellery. The artist employs a soft, muted palette, allowing the subtle transitions of light on the sitter's skin and the fabric of her dress to take precedence. A small bouquet of flowers rests on the table beside her, adding a touch of natural detail to the scene. She holds a small book or case in her hand, suggesting a moment of quiet contemplation or leisure. The brushwork is precise, demonstrating the technical skill required to execute such fine detail on a miniature surface. This work provides a glimpse into the domestic sphere and the portrait traditions of pre-revolutionary France. The focus remains on the individual, presented with a sense of grace and composure that was highly valued in contemporary portraiture. The inclusion of the original gilded frame enhances the historical character of the piece, preserving its intended presentation as a decorative object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-george-frederic-watts-george-frederic-watts\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait (George Frederic Watts) - George Frederic Watts — George Frederic Watts\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/three-spartan-boys-practising-archery-christoffer-wilhelm-eckersberg\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThree Spartan Boys Practising Archery - Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg — Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marie-Victoire Lemoine","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869348831567,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869492683087,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869492715855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869492748623,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57869492781391,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-a-Woman_Poster_CompositorV1_1780780687993.jpg?v=1780784173","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/portrait-of-a-woman-marie-victoire-lemoine","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
