Duparc, Francoise (1726-1778)
"Francoise Duparc was born in Spain, the daughter of a Spanish mother and French father. Her father, Antoine, was a sculptor by profession and it is presumed she and her sister, who also followed a career as an artist, were trained by him. As an adult Duparc returned to France where she worked professionally. Her paintings are influenced by the Dutch style where the subjects of paintings are based on people in everyday life. Duparc's paintings are of women sewing, people engaging in work-a-day activities. She was elected to the Academy of Marseilles in 1777."
