Izabela Lubomirska
Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun
1793
Look at that fabulous turban! In 1793, artist Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun was living in exile from the French Revolution when she painted this stunning portrait of Polish princess Izabela Lubomirska. The princess is rocking the exotic 'turban trend' that was all the rage among European nobility, looking chic in her deep blue dress and draped red shawl against a moody forest backdrop. Notice the classical marble bust next to her? That's a subtle flex showing she's not just beautiful, but deeply cultured. Vigée Le Brun was basically the celebrity photographer of the 18th century—everyone from Marie Antoinette to Russian royalty wanted to be painted by her.
