Alexander Roslin (15 iulie 1718 – 5 iulie 1793) a fost un pictor portretist suedez care a activat in Scania, Bayreuth, Paris, Italia si St. Petersburg, care a pictat in special pentru membrii familiilor aristocrate. A combinat cu maiestrie portretul psihologic cu reprezentarea tesaturilor si bijuteriilor. In stilul sclipitor ales de el, in culori stralucitoare, Alexander Roslin exemplifica stilul Rococo. A trait in Franta din 1752 pana in 1793, o perioada care a cuprins cea mai mare parte a carierei sale.Artistii Rococo au optat pentru un stil mai amuzant, elegant si bogat ornamentat, caracterizat de luminozitate, eleganta si o abordare gratioasa a artei si arhitecturii.Alexander Roslin s-a nascut in 15 iulie 1718, in Malmö, Suedia, fiul unui medic de marina, Hans Roslin si al Catherinei Wertmüller. Aratand un talent neobisnuit pentru desen si pictura, el s-a pregatit la desen la Karlskrona sub indrumarea capitanului Lars Ehrenbill(1697–1747) in scopul de a deveni desenator de marina, apoi a inceput sa picteze miniaturi. Stockholm a devenit un centru intelectual si artistic dupa ce regina Christina a stabilit legaturi cu Paris, iar Alexander Roslin s-a mutat acolo.La varsta de 16 ani a devenit ucenicul pictorului de curte Georg Engelhard Schröder in Stockholm, a studiat pictura acolo pana in 1741 incepand sa picteze in ulei portrete mari. Schröder a fost influentat de Hyacinthe Rigaud si Nicolas de Largillière. In 1741, Roslin s-a stabilit in Gothenburg, iar in anul urmator s-a mutat in Scania, unde a ramas pana in 1745, pictand portrete si picuri religioase pentru biserica din Hasslöv. In 1745, Roslin a plecat din Suedia in Bayreuth, unde a fost invitat sa lucreze pentru marchizul de Brandenburg-Kulmbach. In 1747, el s-a mutat in Italia sa studieze lucrarile marilor maestri. In acelasi an s-a mutat la Paris, la varsta de 34 de ani, unde s-a stabilit pentru tot restul vietii.Aici, in 1759, el s-a casatorit cu acuarelista Marie-Suzanne Giroust (1734–1772).Cei doi au avut trei fii si trei fiice. In 1768 Roslin a pictat-o imbracata dupa moda bologneza, ‘Lady with Veil’, un portret pe care criticul de arta, scriitorul si filozoful Denis Diderot a considerat-o „très piquante”.  In Paris a fost un protejat al lui François Boucher, iar opera sa a ajuns foarte repede la moda.A fost ales membru al Academiei Franceze de Arta. In 1765 a inregistrat un triumf semnificativ cu portretul familiei La Rochefoucauld, pictat in competitie cu Jean-Baptiste Greuze, lucrare care a castigat premiul.
