Louise-Herminie Mutel (Reims 1811- Paris 1881) was a miniaturist and student of Mirbel. She displayed her work at the Paris Salon from 1839-1855 and often received honors: 3rd place medal in 1839, 2nd place in 1841, 1st place in 1845. She may have been the daughter of Alexandrine Mutel, who was a Parisian porcelain artist who exposed her work at the Paris Salon from 1817 to 1827. She was one of the better miniaturists active during the mid-19th century. She was heavily influenced by Mirbel and her style.
