Born in Brittany, Marie Bracquemond began painting when her family moved to Paris. Her earlier work shows the classical influence of Ingres, but by the 1870s, she was an active proponent of impressionism.   In addition, she received recognition as an excellent ceramic artist.  Although she exhibited during the 1870s and 1880s, the jealousy of her overbearing artist-husband, Felix Bracquemond, caused her to stop painting around 1890. Many of the best paintings by this reclusive artist were painted in her own backyard. Although she is often overlooked by art historians and critics, her work should rank with Mary Cassatt's and Berthe Morisot's.
