Original – Painting by Alexander Roslin (1718–1793), though sometimes it was considered as a self-portrait too. But it is not quite made in her style, and documentation points towards Roslin. Vallayer-Coster was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1770, a rare achievement for a woman painter. Most painters were male that time in the Academy.

Reason

Good scan, good artist. The portrait is of Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744 – 1818), 18th-century French painter; one of the rare and successful woman artists in the art-history, who according to our article: " achieved fame and recognition very early in her career". She was known for her still life paintings.
