Early life[edit]

Thibault was born on 2 January 1784 in Bordeaux, France, and baptized on 4 January.^[1] She was educated in painting by Étienne-Charles Le Guay [fr] and Daniel Saint [fr];^[2] Saint was influenced by the works of Jean-Baptiste Isabey, and this influence is reflected in Thibault's portraits.^[3]
