Élisabeth Sophie Chéron (French pronunciation: [elizabɛt sɔfi ʃeʁɔ̃]; 3 October 1648, in Paris – 3 September 1711, in Paris) is remembered today primarily as a French painter, but she was a renaissance woman, acclaimed in her lifetime as a gifted poet, musician, artist, and academician.

She was trained by her artist father, while still a child, in the arts of enamelling and miniature painting.

[1] Her father was a rigid Calvinist, and endeavored to influence his daughter to adopt his religious belief, but her mother was a fervent Roman Catholic, and she persuaded Elizabeth to pass a year in a convent, during which time she ardently embraced the Catholic faith.

Her Psalms were later set to music by Jean-Baptiste Drouard de Bousset and Antonia Bembo, a Venetian noblewoman.

[5] She was an affectionate daughter to both her parents and devoted her earnings to her brother Louis, who studied art in Italy.
