faux-froidure

Faux-Froidure was inspired when she painted her charming triptych of 'Rose Life. In the compartment on the left the roses are twined in a crown resembling those worn in processions; in the centre, in all its dazzling beauty, the red rose, the rose of love, is enthroned; while the panel on the right is consecrated to the faded rose the souvenir rose, shrivelled, and lying beside the little casket which it still perfumes with its old-time sweetness."

Her water-color of "Clematis and Virginia Creeper" is in the Museum at Tunis. In the summer exhibition of 1903, at Évreux, this artist's "Peonies" and "Iris" were delightfully painted full of freshness and brilliancy, such as would be the despair of a less skilful hand. At the Limoges Exposition, May to November, 1903, Mme. Faux-Froidure was announced as hors concours in water-colors.

La Société Français des Amis des Arts purchased from the Salon, 1903, two water-colors by Mme. Faux-Froidure "Roses" and "Loose Flowers," or "Jonchée fleurie." Her pictures at the Exposition at Toulouse, spring of 1903, were much admired. In one she had most skilfully arranged "Peaches and Grapes." The color was truthful and delicate.
