Louise Ward, sometimes rendered Louise de Ward[1] (1849–1930), known in the art world by her pseudonym Louise Dubreau or Louise Dubréau, was a French painter.
Early life
Ward was born on 9 July 1849[2] in Parma, Italy,[2] where her father was stationed.[citation needed] Burke’s Peerage of 1850 and thereafter indicates that her birth name was Elizabeth Margaret Ward.[3][4][a]
She was an Austrian baroness who was the daughter of Baron Thomas Ward[2][7] and his wife Louise Genthner, a Viennese commoner whom Thomas Ward had married in _____.
Career
In Paris, Ward became an accomplished and successful painter, studying with Pierre Auguste Cot.[1] She signed her paintings “Louise Dubreau”,Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).[8] sometimes rendered “Louise Dubréau”,[1] after her husband d’Hervey’s estate Château du Bréau near Dourdan[1] in Seine-et-Oise[9][10] in the department of Yvelines.[9]
Personal life
In 1868, at the age of 18, she married French sinologist Marie-Jean-Léon, Marquis d’Hervey de Saint Denys.[citation needed] Her title became Marquise d’Hervey de Saint-Denys.[1]
In Paris, she quickly became a society belle (mondaine),[citation needed] and was known as a great beauty.[11][citation needed] Marcel Proust based at least one princess on her in his multi-volume novel series In Search of Lost Time.[citation needed]
Hervey de Saint Denys died in 1892.[12][13][14] In 1896, Ward remarried, to French aristocrat and Olympic equestrian Jacques de Waru (1865-1911).[2]
