Biography

Jeanne-Julie-Louise Le Brun, later Nigris (1780–1819) was a French painter.

Daughter of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Julie Le Brun was born in Paris. 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". Their relations were strained from time to time, especially after her marriage to the secretary to Ivan Chernyshyov, Gaëtan-Bernard Nigris (c.1766–?1831), 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.
