Edit ProfileCareer
Her siblings included Antoine and Claudine Bouzonnet-Stella. According to Joseph Strutt:
She harmonized the roughness, left by the aqua-fortis, with the graver, in such a manner as to produce a pleasing effect. She drew correctly, especially the extremities of the human figure, whuch she expressed with great taste.
She died in Paris at the age of 35 in 1676, having suffered a fall.
A third sister, Françoise, was also an engraver.
