Marie-Thérèse Reboul

Marie-Thérèse Reboul (26 February 1735 – 4 January 1806), commonly called Madame Vien, was a French painter and engraver of natural history subjects, still lifes, and flowers.

In 1757, Marie-Thérèse Reboul married the painter Joseph-Marie Vien, who was nineteen years older. but Joseph-Marie Vien's autobiography does not mention it. At the time, Reboul-Vien was described as "a painter of miniatures and gouaches specializing in flowers, butterflies and birds." Her reception piece was Two Pigeons Pigeons on a Tree Branch, which she submitted to the Académie in 1762.

She exhibited her works at the Salons of 1757, 1759, 1763, 1765, and 1767. These included watercolors of a hen with her chicks, a kestrel killing a small bird, a golden pheasant from China, a brooding pigeon, and a bird of prey following a butterfly. He concluded, more critically, "I'm surprised by her hen; I didn't think she was this accomplished." By the late the nineteenth century, few of her watercolors could be located.
