Sophie-Ernestine de Tott (1758 – 1848) was a French painter.

Born in Constantinople. A chanoinesse of Sainte-Anne de Munich, she was entitled by rank to be called "Madame" and is usually so described, although she never married. Tott was the subject of a portrait by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. She is the subject of a portrait miniature in which she is painting a portrait of Madame de Tessé; sometimes attributed to her father, it may instead be a self-portrait. Tott fled the French Revolution, and between 1801 and 1804 exhibited a handful of portraits at the Royal Academy. In 1807 she was a member of the household of Elizabeth Craven. She had returned to France by 1825. Tott died in Versailles, leaving her sister as heir. A copy of her will is in the National Archives of the United Kingdom. Via Wikipedia
