Henriette Rath (11 May 1772 - 24 November 1856) was a Swiss portrait artist who worked in enamel and oil painting. She was a pupil of Jean-Baptiste Isabey and the first woman to be made an honorary member of the Société des Arts.[1][2][3] Rath worked and exhibited in Russia, France and Switzerland.[4] Through an inheritance from her brother and the sale of several of her artworks, Rath and her sister founded the Musée Rath, a museum of art in Geneva, Switzerland, which remains open to the present day.[1][4][5]
