The ​Memoirs of Madame Vigée Lebrun

Le Brun (1755–1842) was a painter whose works still hang in galleries around the world, including the British National Gallery & the Louvre. She was the portrait painter of Marie Antoinette before she fled to Italy and then to Russia from the Revolution, leaving an abusive husband behind.

Her memoirs are entertaining and witty, showing a glimpse at the life of a remarkable woman.
