 Faux-Froidure, Mme. Eugenie Juliette. Honorable mention at Salon, 1898; the same at the Paris Exposition, 1900; third-class medal at Salon, 1903; first prize of the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors, 1902; chevalier of the Order Nichau Iftikar; Officer of Public Instruction. Member of the Association of Baron Taylor, of the Société des Artistes Français, of the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors, and of the Association of Professors of Design of the City of Paris. Born at Noyen (Sarthe). Pupil of P. V. Galland, Albert Maignan, and G. Saintpierre. Mme. Faux-Froidure's pictures are principally of fruit and flowers, and three have been purchased by the Government. One, "Raisins" (Grapes), is in the Museum at Commerey; a second, "Hortensias" (Hydrangeas), is in the Museum of Mans; the third, which was in the Salon of 1903, has not yet been placed. In 1899 she exhibited a large water-color called "La Barque fleurie," which was much admired and was reproduced in " L'Illustration." Her water-color of "Clematis and Virginia Creeper " is in the Museum at Tunis. In the summer exhibition of 1903, at Evreux, 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 "Jonchte fleurie."
