Louise Moillon (Paris, 1609 - Paris, December 21, 1696) was a French painter of the Baroque era. She became known as one of the best still life painters during her time. She worked for King Charles I of England, as well as the French nobility. The majority of her work was done in the 1630s, before her marriage in 1640 to wealthy timber merchant Etienne Girardot de Chancourt. Though her last dated work is from 1645, she died of heart failure during 1696. Her work continues to be admired for its quiet style.
