Vigée Le Brun left a gallery of portraits that superbly illustrate changing fashions. Full-figured women with beautiful complexions and smiling mouths, sometimes revealing their teeth, are depicted in indolent poses, either staring into space or looking provocative.
Great sensuality, animal magnetism and even erotic intensity are characteristic features.
