Flower painter, Mrs Victoria Dubourg Fantin-Latour was born in Paris in 1840. She studied there and received her training from French flower painter Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904) to whom she got married in 1876. From 1869 she began exhibiting at the Paris Salon and received several honorable mentions throughout her carrier. The present lot clearly shows the influence of Dubourg's tutor Henri Fantin-Latour.
