Description in Art Bulletin of Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, vol 15, 2008:
Probably the artist Marguérite Gérard (1761-1837)
NMB 2583
The artist at the easel in Dumont´s portrait is considered to depict
Fragonard´s pupil Marguérite Gérard, who was also his sister-in-law.
She readily collaberated with her famous brother-in-law, exhibited
frequently at the Salon and engravings were regurlarly made of her
works. This interesting portrait shows yet another aspect of Dumont´s
oeuvre. The last time an acquisition of this miniaturist took place was
at Christie´s famous Pierpont Morgan sale 1935. [slut]
