Jeanne-Julie-Louise Le Brun[1] (married name Julie Nigris; 12 February 1780 – 8 December 1819), nicknamed "Brunette", was the daughter of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, and was the model of many of her paintings.
When her parents separated in 1789, Julie traveled with her mother.
Early in life she produced a number of pastels, including one after a piece by Jakob Orth; in her memoirs the elder painter refers to ses heureuses dispositions pour la peinture (her happy disposition for painting).
[2] Le Brun attempted to support herself with her art, appearing in 1811 under the name "Dlle Nigris" in an exhibit in the rue Saint-Lazare.
