Desmares, known as Lolotte, made her stage debut at Comédie Française, Paris at the age of six and enjoyed instant success. She soon became a permanent member of the theater troupe and succeeded her aunt as lead comedienne. A number of versions of the portrait are known; the prime version, entitled La femme au billet doux (Lady with a love letter) was bought by Francois Tronchin (1704-1798), Councilor of the State of Geneva in the eighteenth century and remained in the Tronchin family thereafter, though its present whereabouts are unknown and another version is now in the Boston Museum of Fine Art (inv. no. 47.245.).1 The portrait was engraved in 1708 by Nicolas Chasteau (circa 1680-1750) and a copy of the engraving is housed in the Comédie Française today
