| Marie-Victoire Jaquotot (1772–1855) | ||||||||||
| A French porcelain painter, Jaquotot was born in Paris. She studied under the miniaturist Étienne-Charles Le Guay, her future husband, and later became a painter at the Sèvres manufactory, where, from 1801 to 1842, she created some of its finest works. Among her notable pieces was a dessert service presented by Napoleon to the Emperor of Russia after the peace of Tilsit. She also painted several porcelain designs based on Raphael’s works. Her talent lay in mastering ceramic colours, blending vibrant hues with velvety skin tones. In 1816, Jaquotot was appointed 'first porcelain painter to the king,' a title that allowed her to open her own workshop, where she taught porcelain painting for the next twenty years. She enjoyed widespread recognition and welcomed many prominent figures of her time into her studio. She was active in Paris, Germany, and Italy, and was particularly renowned for her miniature portrait painting. Jaquotot died in Toulouse. | ||||||||||
