Fortunata, an artist's model, listed in the Mon Journal t.14 index as «Fortunata, modèle à l'atelier Julian: 184». On 1881-08-11 (092.0377), Marie, working at Passy on her large picture, has taken against everything she starts: «D'abord Fortunata que j'ai renvoyée en lui payant six séances pour rien; puis c'est le tableau duquel j'étais folle ... Julian avait dit qu'il fallait modifier, améliorer la composition et cela m'a suffi pour que je ne sache plus quoi faire.» So she posed for Marie for six sittings and was dismissed. No surname found.
