In 1745 Mademoiselle Duronceray, a singer, dancer, and comedienne, married Charles Simon Favart (1710–1792) , the father of French comic opera. Among her best known roles was that of the heroine in The Loves of Bastien and Bastienne, 1753, in which she inspired a revolution in theatrical costume by wearing authentic peasant dress. Drouais's elegant secular portrait recalls traditional representations of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music.
