Biography
Eugénie Chosson du Colombier was born 27 September 1806, in either Saint-Albin-de-Vaulserre, or Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier, France, and was the daughter of Aimée de Corbeau and César Chosson du Colombier.[1] She is descended from Dauphinois parliamentary aristocracy on her paternal side.[1][2]
In 1834, she married artist Anselme Pasquier de Franclieu. In 1842, they moved to Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine, followed by a move into the Château de Longpra in 1844 after she inherited the home.[2]
She was a student of French painter Benjamin de Rolland (1773–1855) for around ten years, and Swiss painter Joseph Hornung (1792–1870).[1][2]
Her artworks Portrait of Charles Planelli de Lavalette (1832), and Portrait of Benjamin de Rolland (1833) can be found in the collection at the Museum of Grenoble.[3][4]
She died on 10 February 1888 in Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine.[1]
