Camille Fourdrin née Lemaire (fl. early 19th century) Study of an Arctic tern

signed and dated '1828' l.r., gouache, 24.5 x 31.5cm, This accomplished study is a rare signed work undertaken by Camille Fourdrin, a female artist who exhibited watercolours regularly at the Paris Salon between 1831 and 1848. While she exhibited, her address was given as 15 rue Guénégaud, Paris, where she lived with her husband, the architect Charles Auguste Fourdrin (1804-1889), whom she married in 1826. Alongside her ornithological works, she is known to have undertaken many botanical and butterfly studies, the majority of which appear to remain untraced.
