Description
Français : La reine Marie-Antoinette ramassant les pinceaux d'Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, 1784. Peinture basée sur une anecdote racontée par Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun dans ces Mémoires : "Je me rappelle que dans l’empressement où j’étais de répondre aux bontés de la reine [Marie-Antoinette], je saisis ma boîte à couleurs avec tant de vivacité qu’elle se renversa ; mes brosses, mes pinceaux roulaient sur le parquet, j’allais me baisser pour réparer ma maladresse, laissez, laissez, dit la reine, vous êtes trop avancée dans votre grossesse pour vous baisser, et quoi que je puisse dire, elle releva tout elle-même." / (Souvenirs de Mme Lebrun)
English: Marie Antoinette Gathering the Brushes of Madame Vigée Le Brun, 1784. In 1784, a pregnant Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun arrived for a sitting at Versailles. In her eagerness to please the queen Marie-Antoinette, she spilled her brushes on the floor. When she leaned down to pick them up, she was stopped by Marie Antoinette, who, as Vigée Le Brun wrote, “insisted on gathering them all up herself.”

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
