Vigée-Lebrun, 1755-1842 : her life, works, and friendships : with a catalogue raisonné of the artist's pictures
A 1915 English-language biography and catalogue raisonné of the French portraitist Louise-Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, written by W. H. Helm and published in Boston for art collectors and general readers. Halftone plates reproduce her oil portraits in warm sepia: women in plumed straw hats, ruffled muslin, sashes and loose curls, against dark vignetted grounds useful for soft-edged period faces and costume detail.
