    Labille-Guiard’s self-portrait with her students Marie Gabrielle Capet and Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond is one of the most remarkable images of women’s art education in early modern Europe. In 1783 when Labille-Guiard and Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun were admitted to the French Royal Academy, the number of women artists eligible for membership was limited to four. This canvas, shown with great success at the Salon of 1785.
