The Interior of an Atelier of a Woman Painter (1796). Marie-Victoire Lemoine (French, 1754–1820). Oil on canvas. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The painting has been interpreted as a eulogy of Vigée Le Brun as a protagonist of female artists and as a tribute by one woman artist to another. Vigée Le Brun had been closely associated with Marie Antoinette before the Revolution and at its outbreak in 1789 left France. Here the artist is shown palette and mahlstick in hand, beside an unfinished work, a votary of Athena, goddess of wisdom and patron of the arts. A pupil (sometimes identified with Lemoine herself) copies from it.

If you were ever curious what the Write-A-Sign looked like to scale with a human, this is it. Super awkward photo I took for my agency to share as a social media post welcoming me to the agency. Heh.
