Portrait of Charles Juste Beauvau by Élise Bruyère

Élise Bruyère (1776-1847) was a French painter who specialized in portraits and floral still lifes.

Bruyère was the daughter of Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier (1738-1836), a noted French writer, illustrator, and painter of French historical scenes. Her sister Henriette was also a painter.

Bruyère was of the Realist school of French painting, and her still lifes, particularly her paintings of flowers, are remarkably detailed. A typical work, Vase de fleurs, is in the Musée du Louvre in Paris. He spoke French.
