Marie-Jacobée Prunet, née Balguerie (d. September 1829), facing left in white muslin dress with knotted fichu and blue silk sash, pink rose at corsage, light blue striped bandeau in her high-piled powdered curling hair, holding a pansy in her left hand, seated leaning against a stone wall; foliate and landscape background

An unsigned variant of the present miniature, by Sicardi, is in the Louvre (see P. Jean-Richard, Miniatures sur ivoire. Musée du Louvre. Musée d'Orsay, Paris, 1994, no. 586).
The sitter belonged to a well-known family of ship-owners from Bordeaux. This substantiates Jacqueline Du Pasquier's theory that the artist known as DM worked in Bordeaux. Two works by this interesting miniaturist are in the Musée des Arts décoratifs, Bordeaux (see exhibition catalogue l'âge d'or du petit portrait, Bordeaux, Geneva, Paris, 1995-1996, pp. 48-49, 140, no. 205).
