Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, one of the finest painters of the 18th century, had an eye for fashion and the skill to depict clothing in great detail. In Portrait of Theresa, Countess Kinsky, notice the floral embroidery on Countess Kinsky’s sash and the subtle pattern of lines and dots along the edges of her golden scarf. Gather inspiration from the details and patterns of Countess Kinsky’s ensemble to create your own design on cloth using fabric pastels.
