BRUN, MADAME LE,
Was a French artiste or painter, who gained considerable reputation at Paris. Her paintings, historical pieces as well as portraits, were exhibited in the Louvre. Madame de Genlis speaks of the talents of Madame le Brun with much warmth of praise, and complains that the men sought to depreciate her paintings because she was a woman.
