Self-Portrait with Two Pupils, Marie Gabrielle Capet and Marie Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond was made by Adelaide Labille Guiard in 1785. It was made in Paris, France and the medium is l 'oil on canvas. Adelaide Labille Guiard was born in 1749 and died in 1803. She was one of the few to practice and master miniature, pastel and oil paintings. Due to male dominance in these practices, women were not accepted as students, due to society's perception that women are not able to follow instructions as easily as men. Adelaide Labille Guiard painted Self-Portrait with Two Pupils as a large-scale history painting. In this large work, the viewer can see her at the easel and two of her students, Marie Gabrielle Capet and Marie Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond, looking over her shoulder. This painting engages the viewer by making it appear as if the viewer is the subject of his work. The artist herself posed and dressed as a well-dressed rich lady in a fashionable dress of the time. He also placed numerical objects that catch the viewer's eyes, such as two statues in the back of his father and the Vestal Virgin, the easel in the left corner, the bright green color of the material of his chair, and the burgundy footstool in the right corner. Working in her father's clothing shop, she became well versed in expensive fabrics and embellishments, which were captured in her works later in her career. She was able to capture the beauty and sumptuousness of fabrics in portraits of aristocratic women. She captured herself in a beautiful low-cut blue satin dress and the students in business attire. The dress was painted in great detail and captured both the shine and fluidity of the satin. This was achieved by using shading and light...... center of paper...... masculine compared to the muted paintings of Vigee Le Brun. Adelaide's works were so good and beautiful and many thought that her lover made her works because of the discrimination of women and the belief that women cannot be as good artists as men. It brought attention to this issue and worked to be positive publicity for her. The painting has an order and there are different shapes and angles. The rectangular shape is the main trend of this piece, including the wooden case, leg rest and canvas. Things also overlap, creating the illusion that the shape appears closer to the viewer than the shape behind it. The example in this piece would be the chair that Adelaide Labille Guiard sits in, closer to the viewer than the girls behind it. This adds depth to the space. Also, due to the linear perspective, the girls behind the chair are smaller because they are further away.
