EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait, created in 1672 by Elisabeth Sophie Cheron, is a testament to her immense talent and multifaceted nature. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 88x73 cm and can be found at the Louvre in Paris, France. Cheron was not only an artist but also a poet, musician, and academicienne. Her artistic prowess earned her the nickname "Erato" after the muse of lyric and love poetry. This portrait showcases her as a confident and accomplished woman of her time. The composition features Cheron holding a scroll while gazing directly at the viewer. The oval frame adds an elegant touch to this intimate self-representation. With skilled brushwork and meticulous attention to detail, she captures both her physical likeness and inner essence. Interestingly, Cheron was married to Jacques Le Hay, Ingenieur du Roi (Engineer of the King), further highlighting her connection to influential circles during that era. She was also the sister of Louis Cheron, another notable artist from that period. This print serves as a reminder of Cheron's significant contributions to art history as one of few female artists recognized during this time. It invites us into her world – one where creativity knows no boundaries – leaving us inspired by both her artistic achievements and personal journey.
