Virginie Demont-Breton enjoyed an artistic upbringing and cultivated her talent from an early age, having trained under her father, Jules Breton. Winning her first medal at the Salon of 1881, ‘Femme de pêcheur venant de baigner ses enfants’ is the artist’s earliest masterpiece, propelling her distinguished career as a painter and as a pioneering advocate for women artists. In 1894, Demont-Breton was the second woman in France to be awarded the Légion d’honneur and from 1895-1901 served as the president of the Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs where she was instrumental in the fight to grant women entrance to Paris’ École des Beaux Arts. A highlight of The Female Triumphant – a group of works by trailblazing female artists from the 16th through the 19th centuries, the present painting will be offered in our 19th Century European Art auction on 1 February. #SothebysMasters
