Attributed to Louis-Leopold Boilly Portrait Miniature of Marie-Adrienne Chameroy Oil on canvas affixed to glass Diameter 3 1/4 inches (8.3 cm) Accompanied by a fitted red leather case Provenance: The Felix Panhard Collection (Sale: Palais Galliera, Paris, December 5, 1975) Marie-Adrienne Chameroy (1779-1802) made her debut as a dancer at the Paris Opera in 1796 as Terpsichore in the ballet Psyche. Considered one of the most beautiful dancers in the corps, she attracted many admirers for her grace and vivacity. After her death in childbirth at 23, her funeral, which was to take place at the church of Saint Roch, attracted a large crowd of her fans. When the doors of the church remained closed, the rumor spread that the priests there had refused to perform the service because of Mlle. Chameroy's profession. A near-riot ensued, only calmed by the soothing words of the actor Joseph Albouy Dazincourt of the Comedie Francaise. The funeral procession then continued to the church of St. Thomas, where the funeral took place. C Estate of Fay D. Couyoumjan, Greenwich, CT
