Marguerite Gérard was a French painter and printmaker working in the Rococo style. She was the daughter of Marie Gilette and perfumer Claude Gérard. At eight years old, she became the sister-in-law of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and when she was 14, she went to live with him. She was also the aunt of the artist Alexandre-Évariste Fragonard. Gérard became Fragonard's pupil in the mid-1770s and studied painting, drawing and printmaking under his tutelage. Gérard and Fragonard created nine etchings in 1778.
