About Anne Guéret

Lived 1760 – 1805 (aged 45). Anne Guéret was a French painter.

Anne Guéret (9 May 1760 – 24 November 1805), known as Mlle Guéret the Younger, was a French painter who was active at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Anne and her sister Louise Catherine Guéret were orphaned as children but were adopted by the dramatist and librettist Michel-Jean Sedaine. He introduced them to the painters Henri-Pierre Danloux and Jacques-Louis David who gave them art lessons. In 1793 Anne made her Salon debut. She continued to exhibit in Salons until 1801 presenting mainly portraits.

After Anne Guéret married the architect Charles-Louis Bernier, Danloux painted a small portrait of her. Roger Portalis, French engraver and art critic, claims that Danloux always kept an image of her with him.
