In 1787, she caused with this painting a minor public scandal when her selfportrait was exhibited at the Salon of the then "Académie royale de painture et de sculpture" of 1787 showing her smiling and open-mouthed, which was in direct contravention of traditional painting conventions going back to antiquity.; With the French revolution she flied initially to Italy and her membership in the "Académie française" was dissolved, among others, because female academicians were abolished.; This stamp was issued under President Michel Micombero of Burundi and postmarked in December 1968.
