Pastel on paper laid down on canvas
Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (11 April 1749 – 24 April 1803), also known as Adélaïde Labille-Guiard des Vertus, was a French miniaturist and portrait painter. She was an advocate for women to receive the same opportunities as men to become great painters. Labille-Guiard was one of the first women to become a member of the Royal Academy, and was the first female artist to receive permission to set up a studio for her students at the Louvre.

Completely unrelated but it made me think of it so now you all have to hear it.
I've always loved how most women do everything they can to not let people see their boobs but then they have a kid and literally could not care less.
It's absolutely hilarious to me and I don't even know why.
Pregnancy and giving birth literally rewires women’s brains to care a lot about their children’s wellbeing. It’s a much stronger drive than their own wants.
I will say that men that have children are often the same way. I have 3 kids. I don’t care if someone sees me naked honesty.
That said, some women still do care, hence the nursing rooms at airports, etc.
Oh I understand the physiology and psychology behind it just always makes me chuckle when I think about it.
