Portrait Of A Woman

Discover the remarkable story of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, an often-overlooked trailblazer who defied convention to claim her place among the artists of eighteenth-century France. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Paris in 1783, this imaginative and illuminating biography transports readers to the Royal Salon, where art, ambition, and revolution collide.

As powdered wigs and whispered politics fill the Louvre’s grand halls, Labille-Guiard challenges the limits placed on women, proving that art, and genius, belongs to everyone. Blending meticulous research with vivid storytelling, this book reclaims the legacy of a pioneering feminist whose work and courage helped change the course of art history.
