👩🎨 THE ARTIST
Virginie Demont-Breton (1859–1935) was the daughter of the famous painter Jules Breton and one of the most successful women artists of her time. She lived in Wissant, a fishing village on the Channel coast, with her husband, the painter Adrien Demont. She won prizes at the Paris Salon, received the Légion d'honneur and exhibited in France and the United States.
✨ DID YOU KNOW?
• This painting was a big success at the Paris Salon of 1889 and was quickly bought by an American collector.
• Van Gogh never saw it in person: he copied it from a black-and-white print in the magazine Le Monde Illustré, adding his own colours. His version later belonged to Hollywood star Errol Flynn and sold for about £16.9 million in 2014.
• In March 2026 the Van Gogh Museum bought the original: it's the first work by Demont-Breton to enter a Dutch public collection.
• As president of the Union des femmes peintres et sculpteurs, she fought to open the Académie des beaux-arts to women.
