Marguerite Legrand
Marguerite Legrand (January 11, 1856 – February 18, 1879)[1] was a model and possible lover of French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919).[2] Born Alma Henriette Leboeuf in Chenoise, she went by a variety of names including Henriette-Anna Leboeuf, and most famously, "Anna" or "Margot".[3] She was a seamstress and single parent who had one son, Georges-Jules, and lived at home with her parents in Paris at 47, rue Lafayette. Legrand modeled for Renoir for about three years. When she came down with smallpox, Renoir asked French physician Paul Gachet to treat her, but she died from the illness at the age of 23.[2]
