Artist Painting a Portrait of a Musician (1790-1803)

Marguerite Gérard: Artist Painting a Portrait of a Musician (ca. 1790-1803)

Marguerite Gérard was a Neoclassic painter who was trained by the great Jean-Honoré Fragonard himself. Much of her work predates the 19th century. The current painting is likely a self-portrait of the artist at work.

One of my favorites by her is below: The First Steps, ca. 1788.
