Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun’s Self-Portrait differs from earlier European portraiture traditions because she

was among the first women to depict herself as an artist

The style and iconographic details of the eighteenth-century work shown suggest that its content is most likely

a representation of love in the context of aristocratic culture

Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s painting The Swing reflects Rococo style in its

playful subject matter, depicted with pastel colors and soft lighting

Hogarth contrasts the title with iconographic details to critique the aristocracy and other wealthy classes for their

extravagance and self-indulgence

While Caravaggio uses light to suggest a divine presence, Joseph Wright of Derby uses light to emphasize

the act of learning and education

The work is part of a larger series by Hogarth that has the overall theme of the
