	Anne Pitt - 1790 oil on canvas, 140 x 99.5 cm. Painted in Rome. Anne Pitt lived 1772-1864. She was the daughter of Thomas Pitt, Lord Camelford (1737-93), a politician and art connoisseur. In 1792, she married Baron William Wyndham Grenville (1759-1834). This painting, from the Hermitage, seems to be a replica, as the signed portrait is believed to still be in England, perhaps still in the sitter's family. The copy was received in 1920 through the State Museum reserve from the Vorontsov-Dashkov collection in Petrograd.
	Portrait of a Woman - 1777 oil on canvas, 61 x 51 cm
	Mme Denis de Foissy - 1778 pastel, 28 1/4" x 23" Mme Denis De Foissy, wife of Pierre De Foissy, receveur general des finances de Metz et d'Alsace. She became the mistress of Le Peletier de Mortefontaine. Vigee Le Brun lived on the same street as the sitter. Vigee Le Brun also painted Mme Foissy in 1770.
