Agnes de Frumerie

After studying at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, Agnes de Frumerie became the first Swedish woman to receive a grant to study in Berlin, then in Italy. She settled in France, where she worked from 1892 to 1934. A sculptor and draughtswoman, she also created ceramics with Edmond Lachenal and later works in glass paste. In 1904, she exhibited Les Commères, which Camille Claudel considered a plagiarism of her own Les Causeuses.
