Portrait of Marie-Thérèse Reboul in 1757, by Alexander Roslin

Marie-Thérèse Reboul (1728–1805) was a French painter of natural history, still lifes, and flowers.

She was the student and wife of Joseph-Marie Vien. Her significant paintings include a hen with her chicks, a kestrel killing a small bird, a golden pheasant from China, a brooding pigeon, and a bird of prey following a butterfly. She painted a great number of paintings of this genre and also still lifes of flowers. Several of her works, acquired by Catherine II of Russia, are in the Hermitage Museum. She was a member of l'ancienne Académie de peinture.[1]
