Les deux soeurs. Antoine Vestier (French, 1740-1824). Oil on canvas.

Vestier showed his work at the Salon de la Correspondance, Paris, before being admitted (agréé) to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1785, when a portrait of the painter Gabriel François Doyen, was his morceau de réception. In 1786 he became ’peintre du roi.’ Like many artists, he was housed in the Louvre before the Revolution. He was a successful society portraitist.

Varvara Ivanovna Ladomirsky (1800). Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755-1842). Oil on canvas. Columbus Museum of Art. 

Vigée Le Brun painted this portrait in Moscow for the sitter’s mother, a personal friend. Varvara Ivanovna (1785–1840) was an illegitimate child of Ivan Rimsky-Korsakov and Countess Stroganova, who had left her husband in St. Petersburg to be with her lover. In this compelling image, the sitter is represented in Greek costume: a chemise dress under an embroidered stole fastened at the shoulder.

Robespierre and Saint-Just - a sign of their last minute agreement - had entered the hall together, and it was noticed that they stood at the foot of the tribune, as though they had broken with the Mountain, and meant to rely on their right to speak to the whole House. Robespierre was still confident. Saint-Just was probably less sure.
