Madeleine Lemaire (1845–1928), French painter, pastel artist, engraver, and illustrator, made her debut at the 1864 Salon. Her works, including portraits and floral compositions, are part of the Musée d'Orsay's collections. During the Belle Époque, the artist held a musical and literary salon where writers, musicians, actors, and actresses gathered. Among others, Robert de Montesquiou and Marcel Proust frequented the salon. Madeleine Lemaire illustrated Marcel Proust's collection Les Plaisirs et les Jours, published in 1896 by Calmann-Lévy, with her floral watercolors.
