   Could "beau" also be used, and could this phrase mean "photogenic"?
   
   In context: "Je suis belle à peindre."
   
   Merci !

   Yes for beau, as narcissism is not a feminine priviledge (remember who Narcissus was...).
   
   No to the other one if the whole context is not about photography. It means: I'm so beautiful I'm worth being painted.
