I do not know anything about a Henriette Vigee-Lebrun, but I do know
that Elizabeth Vigee-Lebrun had a daughter named Julie who died in
her
twenties or thirties and was childless.

Hallo Peggy,
Though I am an architectural historian with a great interest in
painting, I
have the courage to give you a possible solution for your problem.
Marie-Louise Elisabeth VIGEE - Lebrun had one child, a daughter,
from
the
marriage with Jean-Baptiste Pierre Lebrun which lasted from 1776
till
1794
this could be your Henriette Lebrun (see: Benezit, Dictionnaire des
Peintres, Sculpteurs, etc., Nouvelle Edition, vol. 8, 1960-1964)
though
there is no name mentioned.
Another possibility is the paintress (portraitiste) Henriette
Perrard
LEBRUN
who exhibited -according to E.Benezit: Dictionnaire etc., Nouvelle
Edition,
1960-1964, vol.5, page 461- her portraits in the Salon of 1848 and
1850.
Last night I happened to read in a Dutch weekly a review of a book
about
selfportraits of female artists. I can not remember the title at
this
moment, but I will sent it to you tomorrow. The article was
illustrated with
a selfportrait of madame Elisabeth Vigee - Lebrun.
Success,
