Compare the painting styles of Labille-Guiard and Vigée-Lebrun.

Correct Answer

Labille-Guiard, Self-Portrait with Two Pupils , Vigée-Lebrun, Self-Portrait . It is instructive to compare Labille-Guiard's Self-Portrait with Two Pupils with Vigée-Lebrun's Self-Portrait. The younger painter presented herself at work on a portrait of her most important patron, Queen Marie Antoinette. The subject of Labille-Guiard's canvas is unknown. Instead, the focus is on her role as a teacher. She had as many as nine women in her studio at one time. Here, two apprentices¾dressed more simply than their elegantly clad instructor¾cluster behind her, one looking intently at the painting in progress, the other, like Labille-Guiard, looking out at the viewer. The three figures form a classical pyramidal composition, echoed by the easel. In the V formed by the two triangles is a portrait bust of the artist's father. Appropriately for this early feminist, her muse is a man, reversing the traditional gender roles.
