Image: Claudine Picardet (Baronne Guyton de Morveau)
Description: This portrait is a detail from a larger group portrait by an unknown painter of the 19th century. It shows Claudine Picardet (later Baronne Guyton de Morveau) standing, holding a book to symbolize her work as a translator. She is wearing a low-necked lacy white dress with a pink waist, and an elaborate greyish wig. Probable dates for the painting are between 1782 (when the group shown began working on nomenclature) and 1816 when Baron Guyton de Morveau (shown in the full painting) died.
