About the artist:
Clémentine-Hélène Dufau was born into a Gironde family through her mother, née Dumézil. Her father was an entrepreneur of Basque ancestry who made a fortune during a trip to Cuba and marriedthe daughter of a vineyard owner when he returned. She enrolled at the Académie Julian; studying with William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. In 1895, she exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français and was awarded the Marie Bashkirtseff prize for her painting, L'Amour de l'Art. As a result, she began to receive orders for advertising posters, beginning with one for the Bal des Increvables at the Casino de Paris, followed by one to announce the launching of La Fronde, a journal founded by Marguerite Durand in 1897. The following year, she became a member of the Société des Artistes Français and obtained a scholarship to study in Spain. Back in Paris, she exhibited the works she had produced and received excellent critical acclaim.
