Louise Moillon (c. 1610–1696) was a French still life painter in the Baroque era.[1] It is recorded that she became known as one of the best still life painters of her time, as her work was purchased by King Charles I of England, as well as French nobility.[2] Moillon's works show the influence of Flemish painting in their trompe l'oeil effects but are characteristically French in their elegance.[3] Moillon created about 40 paintings during her lifetime which are held in museums and private collections.[3]
