Aglaé de Maré is one of those young women of the aristocracy who practiced painting for their own pleasure, but reached a certain level of professionalism thanks to the training they received in the studios of great Parisian artists, which was largely open to women. Daughter of Georges de Saint-Chamans, lord of Villetran, she married in 1825 Stanislas-Alphonse de Maré (1792-1843), a ship's captain, who was known to have received compensation for the loss of sugar colonies in the Caribbean. Her style is close to artists such as the Leprince brothers, whose influence she may have had. But she died young and did not have time for a career.
