Jeanne-Pernette Schenker-Massot, often referred to simply as Pernette Massot (November 13, 1761 – January 17, 1828) was a Swiss miniaturist, pastellist, and engraver. Born in Geneva, Schenker-Massot was the elder sister of the painter Firmin Massot, and has traditionally been described as his first teacher.
Her own teacher is said to have been Jean-Baptiste Carvelle, a French expatriate in Switzerland.
In 1794 she married the miniaturist and engraver Nicolas Schenker, with whom she would have two children.
