Marguerite Arosa

Marguerite Arosa, the youngest daughter of the art collector Gustave Arosa, was born in Paris in 1852 or 1854. The family was of Spanish extraction.[1] She studied under Mayer, Barrias and Armand-Gautier, and exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon between 1882 and 1900. She died in the 17th arrondissement of Paris on 23 February 1903.

Among her words were coastal landscapes: Temps brumeux, in the Salon of 1891; La pêche à la Senne (Brittany), in the Salon of 1897; and Coin de port à marée basse, in the Salon of 1900. She also painted genre scenes: in the Salon of 1885 or 1886 she was represented with an Andromède standing chained to a rock, looking out to sea; and in the Brussels Salon of 1884 with a Baigneuse.[2][3] The artist took part in the Exposition internationale de blanc et noir in 1892 with the watercolour Lilas en fleurs (Parc Monceau).[3]
