Turbans & Vigee Le Brun

This painting of Madame d’Aguesseau de Fresnes from 1789 marked the last year that Elizabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun worked in Paris for many years as the French Revolution broke out and all the aristocrats that she had been painting feared for their lives. This one wears a turban of cream and gold which sports a braid of hair as well, and then ringlets frame her sweet face and large pearl adorn her ears. The turban harmonizes with her dress which has a similar gold border, and her full skirt of silk with gold dots woven into it. The little purple, velvet  jacket fits tightly under her bustline, but then the dress is belted too and the curator at the National Gallery in DC, where this painting hangs, tells us that the cameo and sash that make up the belt are Wedgwood, so British in design. So a turban from the Middle East, a neo-classical dress of silk which would have come from China, pearls from some far away ocean, and then a British cameo--and we think we live in a global age!

You can find this painting and more by Vigee Le Brun at the National Gallery in Washington and in their online collection: https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.32694.html
