Varvara Ivanovna Ladomirsky

The portrait of Varvara Ivanovna Ladomirsky was painted in 1800 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. Vigée Le Brun executed the work in Moscow, depicting the fifteen-year-old sitter at the request of her mother, who was a personal friend of the artist. Originally intended for the mother of the subject, the painting later passed out of the family's possession and was acquired in 1963 by the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio, where it has since been held.

The portrait of Varvara Ivanovna Ladomirsky is held by the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio. It entered the museum's collection following its acquisition in 1963, a date repeatedly noted in French, Italian, and Spanish Wikipedia entries and the work's Wikidata record. The painting, an oil on canvas measuring 63.5 cm by 55 cm, was created in 1800 by French artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun.

Its provenance indicates that it was originally commissioned in Moscow for the sitter’s mother, a friend of the artist, and has remained in the museum's custody since the 1963 purchase.

Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun completed Varvara Ivanovna Ladomirsky in 1800, an oil painting that exemplifies the stylistic shifts occurring in European art at the turn of the 19th century. This work by the prominent French portraitist showcases her evolving approach, moving from the decorative qualities of Rococo toward the more structured aesthetics of Neoclassicism. The portrait is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
