Between 1798 and 1804, she exhibited work at the Paris Salon.[2] Her Portrait of Juliette Récamier, now located in the Musée national des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon, was exhibited 1799 Salon and included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[3] A copy was owned by Madame de Staël and kept in her bedroom at Coppet Castle, in Switzerland.[4]
