Marie-Élisabeth Laville-Leroux (27 March 1770[1] – 23 July 1826) was a French painter. Like her sister, Marie-Guillemine Benoist, she studied (in 1787) under David.
Her mother, Marguerite-Marie Lombard, was from Toulouse and her father, René Laville-Leroux was from Brittany. She sometimes exhibited with her sister Marie-Guillemine,[2] as in the exhibition at la place Dauphine in 1786 where she displayed Dame en satin blanc, garnie de marte; and in 1788, Artémise serre sur son cœur l'urne contenant les cendres de Mausole; and in 1789, Une Vestale infidèle. In 1791, she exhibited Artémise in the Salon de l'Académie.
In 1794, she married baron Dominique Larrey.[3]
