Overview

The elder daughter of Mme d'Audiffret (AUDIFFRET_MME) and half-sister of Emile d'Audiffret (EMILE_D_AUDIFFRET), about a year younger than Marie Bashkirtseff: recalling Nice in 1875, Marie writes «Marie Audiffret dissuadant son frère d'aller chez nous … j'avais à peine seize ans et elle en avait quinze» (088.0265). Her sister is Dolorès (087.0833).

Relevance to Marie

In Paris in May 1880 she is Marie's rival for Soutzo's attention: «Il vient d'avouer que Marie Audiffret lui plaît … mais qu'il ne l'épousera jamais parce que la mère est une cocotte ou à peu près» (088.0251); «la petite Audiffret; elle est jolie et bonne enfant» (088.0235); «la petite Audiffret bien jolie joue fort mal une valse de Chopin» (088.0311). Gossip of 1875 about her (removed from her convent, infatuated with a tenor) is summarised in EMILE_D_AUDIFFRET, per Kernberger (2013).
