Stamp of the Week


The latest stamp features one of my favorite artists.

Élisabeth Vigée-LeBrun

I love 18th century French art. Élisabeth Vigée-LeBrun, known for her sophisticated, yet endearing style is one of my favorite artists. Not only was she Marie Antoinette's appointed painter, but also a female one at that. I first discovered her work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I've been captivated by her work ever since.

This stamp displays one of her many self-portraits.
