Poznámky
Louise Breslau (1856–1927): Swiss-German painter, a fellow student at the Atelier Julian who would indeed receive a mention honorable at this Salon — her first major recognition. She would go on to a distinguished career. Marie's rivalry with her is a recurring theme. ↩
Pierre-Auguste Cot (1837–1883): French academic painter famous for his romantic subjects; he was on the jury and apparently willing to advocate for Marie's canvas. ↩
La Citoyenne: the feminist newspaper founded by Hubertine Auclert (1881), in which Marie had invested and for which she wrote a Salon review. The review appearing marks the fulfilment of her earlier plan. ↩
