Lithograph of Virginie Ancelot by Marie-Alexandre Alophe

Marguerite-Louise Virginie Chardon Ancelot (1792–1875) was a French painter, writer and playwright.[1][2] Ancelot was born to a parliamentary family in Dijon, and was married to playwright Jacques-François Ancelot.[2] From 1824 to 1866 Ancelot hosted a literary salon on Paris's rue de Seine.[2]

Her plays were collected in four volumes and published as Theâtre complet in 1848.[1] She published two memoirs: Les Salons de Paris, foyers éteints (1858) and Un salon de Paris 1824-64 (1866).[1] Her most important novels include Georgine (1855), Une route sans issue (1857), and Un nœud de ruban (1858).[1]
