Jean-Baptiste Mallet, born in Grasse in 1759 and died in Paris on August 16, 1835, is a French painter. A pupil of Simon Julien in Toulon, then of Pierre-Paul Prud'hon in Paris, Mallet produced small-scale gouaches and watercolors, which constitute a veritable chronicle of the society of the Directory and the First Empire. The work of Jean-Baptiste Mallet is very marked by Greuze, Fragonard, born like him in Grasse, and Louis-Léopold Boilly.
