"Caroline de Genlis comtesse de Woesting" is a portrait by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle, a French artist known for his portraits and landscape drawings, as well as for inventing the transparent, an early form of the diorama. Carmontelle was also a dramatist and the inventor of the "Proverbe," a type of short play.

The subject of the portrait, Caroline de Genlis, born Stéphanie-Félicité du Crest de Saint-Aubin (1746–1830), was a French writer, harpist, and educator. She was appointed governess to the children of the Duke of Chartres, later the Duke of Orléans, and played a significant role in the education of his son, who would become King Louis-Philippe I. As a celebrated figure in French society, she was a popular subject for artists of the time.

The portrait by Carmontelle captures Caroline de Genlis in a moment of repose, reflecting the elegance and intellectual atmosphere of the late 18th-century French aristocracy. It is a testament to her status as a cultural icon and an influential figure in the world of arts and letters during the Enlightenment.

Carmontelle's work is characterized by its delicate lines and attention to detail, which can be seen in the rendering of de Genlis's attire and features. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of a prominent individual but also provides insight into the artistic conventions and societal norms of the period.

As an artist, Carmontelle was highly regarded for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his sitters, making his portraits valuable documents of the social and cultural life of his time. The portrait of Caroline de Genlis comtesse de Woesting is an important work within Carmontelle's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of portraiture in the 18th century.
