Born to artist Julien Dupré in Paris in 1877, Thérèse-Marthe-Françoise Cotard-Dupré was immersed in the French Realist tradition from childhood. She was also the niece of Georges Laugée, and the influence of the two leading French naturalist painters of the 19th century is clearly evident in her oeuvre.
She married the artist Edmond Cotard in 1889, and although deeply influenced by her father in subject matter and technique, Cotard-Dupré, as a wife and mother, had a personal familiarity with the labors of women and they figure prominently in her paintings. The farmers and gleaners of her paintings were strong young women taking joy in their labors, and are set in the green and luminous countryside of Normandy and Picardy.
