Portrait of Julie by her father in 1787

Jeanne-Julie-Louise Le Brun;[1] née Nigris; known as Julie Le Brun, nicknamed "Brunette"; 12 February 1780 – 8 December 1819) was the only daughter of painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun and was a model of many of her paintings.

Her father was Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun, a painter and art dealer. Julie was born in Paris and when her parents separated in 1789 she 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".

Relations with her mother were strained from time to time, especially after her marriage to Gaëtan-Bernard Nigris in 1799. The couple soon separated. 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.[2] She died at the age of 39 in 1819.
