Anne Bricollet

{{Short description|French artist}}

Anne Bricollet was a French painter and pastellist active between 1786 and 1797.

Bricollet is known only from two works. The earliest is a Pietà in oil, signed and dated 1785 and located in Bourg-en-Bresse Cathedral.{{cite book|title=Art et archéologie en Rhône Alpes|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=E45IAQAAIAAJ|year=1988|publisher=Association les Amis du Chateau des Allymes et de René de Lucinge}} The other is a pastel portrait of Marie-Claude-Clémence Martin, later the wife of deputy Louis Sirand; this piece is signed on the back as being by "Mlle Bricollet", and described as having been finished on April 23, 1797. Nothing further is recorded of Bricollet, but a woman named Anne-Henriette Bricollet is known to have died in Bourg-en-Bresse in 1833.[http://www.pastellists.com/Articles/BRICOLLET.pdf Profile] at the Dictionary of Pastellists Before 1800.
