She married Gabriel-François Reymond, yet another actor, in January 1780 but, according to rumor, deserted him after her mother's death in 1782 in order to live with her legal father Molé, who was obviously aware that she was not his daughter, as his mistress.Measures frame approx. 4.92 inches x 4.33 inches x 0.78 inchesportrait size 1.37 inches x 1 inches1inch=2.54cmCondition: very goodI sell antique and vintage collectible stuff - unique items that have history, and may show signs of this - it's part of their charm. I try to describe any obvious faults as truthfully as I can. However, as most of my items are 100 years old, they will often bear the traces of a previous life. Please think carefully about bidding if you are looking for a pristine item that is as new. My passion is for beautiful antique stuff and quirky vintage items with a gently faded grandeur, so do consider this before deciding to bid.
