Anne Gueret (1760–1805) was a French musician and painter working at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. Anne and her sister Louise Catherine Gueret were orphaned as children but were adopted by Michel-Jean Sedaine. He introduced them to painters Henri-Pierre Danloux and Jacques-Louis David who gave them art lessons. In 1793 Anne had her first Salon debut. She continued to exhibit in Salons until 1801 presenting mainly portraits.^[1]

After Anne Gueret married Bernier Henri-Pierre, Danloux painted a small-scale portrait of her. Roger Portalis, French engraver and art critic, claims that Danloux always kept an image of her with him.^[2]
