Adélaïde Labille-Guiard
This piece was of the most remarkable pieces for women’s art education in modern Europe. The artist shows her importance by making her dress stand out from the other two, and the artist is the only person whose full face in on view, while the other two are more hidden. The tone for this piece is positive and empowering, this is to show that women too can be artists, just like men. These female artists were way ahead of their time with their pieces and it shows. -

The girl doesn’t seem to be directly looking into the mirror, it’s more like she’s looking past it. From the profile she looks a bit sad, while her face in the mirror is more set with no hint of any particular emotion. The tone is just neutral, but the piece itself is still very stunning. The attention to the details in her profile, the small curls of her hair and her eyes are what drew me in. The shade of green in her eyes even matches her dress.
