Marie Bracquemond
A largely self-taught painter from Brittany who was advised as a young woman by Ingres, married the printmaker Félix Bracquemond and designed porcelain with him. She showed in three Impressionist exhibitions, but her husband resented her work and she gave up painting around 1890.

In 1886 Félix Bracquemond brought the struggling Gauguin home to Sèvres. Gauguin showed Marie Bracquemond how to prepare her canvases for the stronger, brighter colour she was after, and her late paintings take on a new intensity.
