Anne and her sister Louise Catherine Guéret were orphaned as children but were adopted by the dramatist and librettist Michel-Jean Sedaine.

He introduced them to the painters Henri-Pierre Danloux and Jacques-Louis David who gave them art lessons.

[1] After Anne Guéret married the architect Charles-Louis Bernier, Danloux painted a small portrait of her.

Roger Portalis, French engraver and art critic, claims that Danloux always kept an image of her with him.

Portrait of an Artist Leaning on a Portfolio was exhibited by Anne Guéret at the Salon of 1793, and it is now in a private collection in France.
