Marie Clemence Isaure Boissy d'Anglas, Viscountess of Nisas (Vichy, 4 March 1813-Paris, 30 June 1872) was painted aged 24 by the female Parisian painter Aimée Perlet. Perlet was a student with Marie Victorine Jaquotot (1772-1855), perhaps the most well known painter of plaques at Sèvres in the early 19th century, and herself a student of Leguay. Indeed Perlet was employed at Sèvres from 1825-1830, after which she continued her career as a portrait painter on porcelain. Like Jaquotot she exhibited frequently at the Paris Salons, and this work was entered in the Salon of 1838 as 'Portrait de Mme la viscomtesse de N. ...'. For further reading on both artists see: W. Neuwirth, Porzellanmaler-Lexicon, 1840-1914, Vol.I and II.
