From the late 1860s until her sudden death in the Bazar de la Charité fire in 1897, she led a singular career, a real challenge at the time for a woman of the upper middle class. Her pieces, of exceptional quality, even though they were amateurish, are marked by the taste of past centuries or tinged with a Japonism that was more modern than then. This catalog, published as part of the fourth Normandie Impressionniste festival, constitutes the first study devoted to this artist since the monograph written more than a century ago by her son, Étienne, a famous art historian and collector.
