| Description | The (self)representation of Émilie Du Châtelet is reflected in the portraits she posed for as well as in her portraits that appeared in various contemporary books. As Du Châtelet commissioned some of the portraits, she was partly in control of the stylization and symbolic elements, even though she was limited by contemporary iconographical conventions. |
