1885 portrait by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta

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 and Parisian society belle.

Ward was born on 9 July 1849[2] in Parma, Italy,[2][a] where her father had been stationed as chief minister of the Duke of Parma.[4] Burke’s Peerage of 1850 and thereafter indicates that her birth name was Elizabeth Margaret Ward.[5][6][b]

She was an Austrian baroness who was the daughter of Baron Thomas Ward[2][9] and his wife Louise Genthner, a Viennese commoner whom Thomas Ward had married in 1832.[10]

In Paris, Ward became an accomplished and successful painter, studying with Pierre Auguste Cot.[1] She signed her paintings “Louise Dubreau”,[2][11][12] sometimes rendered “Louise Dubréau”[1] or “Louise du Bréau”,[13] after her husband d’Hervey’s estate Château du Bréau near Dourdan[1] in Seine-et-Oise[14][15] in the department of Yvelines.[14]

Her best known paintings are The Old Lodger (1877) and Printemps (1882).

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 became a society belle (mondaine),[16] and was known as a great beauty.[16][11][13] Marcel Proust based at least one princess on her in his multi-volume novel series In Search of Lost Time.[14][citation needed]

Her first husband, Hervey de Saint Denys, died in 1892.[17][18][19] In 1896, Ward remarried, to French aristocrat and Olympic equestrian Jacques de Waru (1865–1911).[2]
