Ambroise-Marguerite Bardin

Ambroise-Marguerite Bardin (1768–1842) was a French painter and pastellist.

On February 11, 1793, she married Pierre-François Mollière, a drawing teacher and assistant of her father's, in Orléans, and with him would later establish a porcelain factory.

[3] One "Mlle Bardin soeur" advertised drawing materials in a 1791 edition of the Journal de Loiret, but evidence suggests this was the painter's aunt; she had no sisters.

A pastel self-portrait in which she is painting a portrait of her father, dated 1791, is in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans.
