This is partly due to a book that has been translated into many languages - Great women masters of art - by the Spanish art historian Jordi Vigue, where she is rightfully ranked among painters like Mary Cassat and Elizabeth Vigee Lebrun. In Ypres, where Louise de Hem lived and worked most of her life, the Stedelijk Museum has a wonderful collection of her work. Also on show there are many social realist paintings of this Alfred Stevens student. This painting (72 x 48 cm) was on sale at Christies, South Kensington.
