Context:

Vigée-Le Brun was a profoundly gifted painter. At the age of 24, she executed her first portrait of Queen Marie-Antoinette, and over the course of her career, remained the principal portraitist of the French aristocracy. On the night that revolutionaries arrested Louis XVI and his queen in 1789, Vigée-Le Brun went into exile for 12 years. This portrait of Countess Bucquoi was commissioned during a visit to Vienna in 1793. It ranks as one of the few and most successful examples of the artist's use of romantic landscape as a background.
