The following summer she returned to Switzerland to attend the "Festival of the Shepards", held only once each century. She stayed with M. and Mme. Konig in Untersee . "The only payment that I was able to make M. Konig for his hospitality was a self portrait in oil that I sent them from Paris".

Painted when Vigée Le Brun was 53 years of age, it shows a face no longer young, but still beautiful, and filled with vitality, good humor, and keen intelligence. |
