Original – Self portrait (1782) by Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842); Le Brun was possibly the most important female painter of the 18th century. This painting is a free imitation of Peter Paul Rubens's 1622 portrait Portrait of Susanna Lunden. After the selfie was cleaned, it appeared to be an autographed replica of the original (held in a private collection).
