A young Woman, seated, looking up to the right

Jean Cailleux has identified the sitter as Marianne Franmery or Louise-Elizabeth Bain, two of Trinquesse's three favorite models. Three medallions repoduced by Cailleux show Trinquesse's models who all carry a striking resemblance to each other, Cailleux, op.cit., figs. 1-3. The drawings from that series of models all show women in large dresses seated on chairs and many bear dates from the 1770s. The drawing is comparable to two further sheets identifiable as Marianne Franmery or Louise-Elizabeth Bain: one sold at Christie's, London, 20 March 1973, lot 124 and another exhibited in New York, The Pierpont Morgan Library, Fantasy and Reality, Drawings from the Sunny Crawford von Bülow Collection, 1995, no. 20, illustrated.
