The work provides a first-hand account of the author's experiences as an artist in Russia, particularly under the reign of Emperor Paul I, illustrating the complex social and political landscape of the time. Through her personal anecdotes, Vigée-Lebrun offers insights into her interactions with notable figures of the era, including the Emperor himself and members of the Russian nobility, painting a vivid picture of her life as a female painter during a tumultuous period. At the start of the memoir, the author reflects on the character of Emperor Paul I, describing his erratic behavior and the atmosphere of fear that permeated society under his rule. She recounts an incident at a court ball where a simple misunderstanding leads to the harsh punishment of an innocent man, encapsulating the oppressive nature of Paul's governance. The opening portion also details Vigée-Lebrun's artistic career, her connections within the imperial court, and the challenges she faced as she navigated both her personal and professional life while observing the peculiarities of Russian nobility and culture.
