Portrait de Amable Tastu. Constance Mayer (French, 1775-1821). Oil on canvas. Musée de la Cour d'Or. Amable Tastu, born Sabine Casimire Amable Voïart, was a 19th-century French poet and writer. After an early poem “Le Narcisse” was published in 1816 by Mercure de France, her work was noticed by Adelaïde Dufrénoy who became a patron and with whom she developed a close friendship. Her poetry was praised for its delicacy by the literary critic Sainte-Beuve. Tatsu is shown holding a small book, likely of her poetry. -- source link
