Marguerite Legrand

Marguerite Legrand (c. 1856 – February 18, 1879)[1] was a model and possible lover of French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919).[2] Born Alma Henriette Leboeuf, she went by a variety of names including Henriette-Anna Leboeuf, or Anna, and most famously, "Margot".[3] When she came down with smallpox, Renoir asked French physician Paul Gachet to treat her, but she died at the age of 23.[2]
