Although Félix participated with the Impressionist exhibitions, he notably disapproved of the movement at which his wife excelled. Marie's frequent omission from books on artists is sometimes attributed to the efforts of her husband. Together, they produced ceramic art for Haviland & Co., a manufacturer of Limoges porcelain. She married noted printmaker Félix Bracquemond (1833–1914), who helped popularize Japanese art in France. She never underwent formal art training, but she received limited instruction from Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867) and advice from Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) which contributed to her stylistic approach. Bracquemond studied drawing as a child and began showing her work at the Paris Salon when she was still an adolescent. She was one of four notable women in the Impressionist movement, along with Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), Berthe Morisot (1841-1895), and Eva Gonzalès (1847-1883). Marie Bracquemond (1 December 1840 – 17 January 1916) was a French Impressionist artist.
