Louise Abbema, a French painter-engraver-sculptor, studied under Chaplin, Henner, and Carolus-Duran. She became famous at age 18 for her portrait of actress Sarah Bernhardt who later would create a sculpture of Abbema. The close relationship between them was lifelong. Exhibiting regularly in France, Abbema also created numerous decorative ceilings and panels for private homes and illustrations for books and other publications. Abbema was made Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1906.Biography, plus images

The family of Marie Bashkirtseff were minor Russian nobility, but Bashkirtseff grew up in exile in France. She studied art at the Académie Julian under Bastien-Lepage and often used the pseudonyms Marie Constantin Russ and Andrei on her earlier exhibited paintings. Dying young of tuberculosis, this Ukrainian artist still managed to achieve some fame for her pictures of the working class children of Paris; The Meeting was purchased by the French government. To her, those street boys had "a liveliness and freedom from the artifices" of society that upper-class women did not. Bashkirtseff was also the author of I Am the Most Interesting Book of All, her popular diary still in print today.Biography/6 images

Sheep by the Sea
1879--
exhibited in the Fine Arts Palace, 1893 Exposition?
It is unclear which "sheep" painting Bonheur displayed at the 1893
World Fair, but this famous one has the "blue sky" and "fleecy
clouds" and the "play of light and shadow" described by one source.
Here is another possibility:
Landscape with Sheep.
Pastorale
(image unavailable)--exhibited
in Women's Building, 1893 Exposition.
The French artist Rosa Bonheur was probably the most famous woman artist to exhibit at the 1893 World Fair. She and her brother and sister were trained by her artist father (Raymond Bonheur) who was a believer in gender equality. He encouraged her love of art and of animals. As an adult, Bonheur had to get a permit from the police to wear trousers so that she could visit the slaughterhouses where she studied the animal anatomy that would characterize her art, and she would later keep a small menagerie of animals for inspiration. Famous for her unconventional life, Bonheur wore short hair and pants, smoked cigarettes, and had a female companion. In 1853, her life-size painting The Horse Fair brought her international fame. Bonheur was the first woman to be awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor (1864).Biography
