Andrienne Bourdillon was married in 1812 to Jean-Jacques-Caton Chenevière (1783–1871), the noted theologist who taught at the Academy of Geneva, where he also served as rector.
We are grateful to Valérie Louzier-Gentaz for endorsing the attribution to Massot, on the basis of digital images, and for dating the portrait to circa 1810.
