Baptiste Gagneraux was younger brother to Bénigne Gagneraux and both artists trained under François Devosge (1732 - 1811).  Two portraits executed in pastel by Baptiste Gagneraux were sold, Paris, Christie's, 18 March, 2004, lot 261.  The features of the young lady in the present portrait bear a strong resemblance to the female sitter in one of the portraits sold in Paris.
