oleon she seems never to have got her bearings. She roamed to
Switzerland twice, and painted some two hundred pastel landscapes of
its scenery. It was during her first visit thereto that she met and
painted Madame de Stael as "Corinne."

The years were increasing, the fever for travel cooled, and Vigee Le
Brun, buying a house at Louveciennes, thenceforth passed her days
between her country-house and town-mansion.

Death began to make gaps amongst such old friendships as the guillotine
had spared to her. Le Brun died in 1813; her daughter in 1819; her
brother the following year. Her art began to fail her. But her
closing years were illumined by the affection and care of her two
nieces, Madame de Riviere and Madame Trippier le Franc.

At five of the morning of the 30th of March in 1842, she died in her
apartment at No. 29 Rue St. Lazare, in her eighty-seventh year; and
was buried according to her wish at Louveciennes, where, in the church,
still hangs the picture of "Ste. Genevieve" painted by her. Even her
poor dead body could not sleep where she had willed; she was destined
to gentle exile even after death. Her remains were moved to the new
cemetery, and the simple tomb was again set up over them, whereon one
may see a palette and brushes chiselled at its summit, and the grim
words: "Here, at last, I rest."
