The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris by Justine De Young. (Bloomsbury 2025). White woman in black dress standings against a gray wall, staring out at the viewer while she pulls off one of her gray gloves. Yellow rose on her hat, red bud at her breast.

2/at the Comédie-Française. The photo is undated but I'd guess it's from the early 1870s. She was a celebrated beauty & the sister-in-law of the artist Carolus-Duran, who painted her as an amazone (equestrienne) in an 1873 painting I discuss in the book. Her sister Pauline Croizette is on the cover!
