—————————————————

“This painting has close affinity with the work of François-Hubert Drouais (1727-75) and it was formerly described as a portrait of Mademoiselle Doré by Drouais.

However, there was a portrait painter who signed herself Mlle Doré in 1763 and 1765-about the time when this picture was painted-and it seems likely that, in this case also, Mademoiselle Doré was the painter rather than the sister. She is probably to be identified with Marie-Jeane Doré, Drouais sister in law. “ (V&A)
