In Vienna, Vigée Le Brun painted the countess (1746–1818) for her brother, a commission she received in the wake of the success of Lady Hamilton as the Cumaean Sibyl. She integrates her sitter, whom she called “kind and good,” in an autumnal landscape that combines the mountainous banks of the Danube with the Marble Falls of Terni.
