Marianne Loir was born in Paris around 1715, daughter of the goldsmith Alexis II Loir and granddaughter of Nicolas Loir. Her brother, Alexis III Loir (1712–1785), was a renowned sculptor.

She studied under Jean François de Troy (1679–1752), director of the French Academy in Rome, where Marianne stayed between 1738 and 1746. She became a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Marseille in 1762, and seems to have stayed at Pau for a time in the 1720s and Toulouse. In 1763 she was in Paris, where she completed a portrait of the young Antoine Duplas on 1 September. She left Paris in 1765 and moved to Provence. She died sometime in 1769.

She left ten paintings, signed and dated between 1745 and 1769.
