Marie-Victoire Jaquotot (15 January 1772 – 27 April 1855) was a 19th-century French painter.[1] She painted the exquisite Tea Service of Famous Women at the Sèvres manufacture between 1811 and 1812. Originally designed for Josephine Bonaparte, Empress of Napoleon’s France, Jaquotot featured sixteen prominent women from history, including rulers such as Catherine the Great of Russia and Maria Theresa of Austria, as well as cultural luminaries such as Joan of Arc and Madame de Sévigné. In 1816, with the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy, Jaquotot earned the title “First Porcelain Painter to the King,” standing out among the many women artists who gained commissions, sales, titles and other forms of recognition from the new administration. [2]

Biography

Jaquotot died in Toulouse.[3]
