Born in Geneva, Schenker-Massot was the elder sister of the painter Firmin Massot, and has traditionally been described as his first teacher.[1] Her own teacher is said to have been Jean-Baptiste Carvelle, a French expatriate in Switzerland.[2] In 1794 she married the miniaturist and engraver Nicolas Schenker, with whom she had two children.
