French painter and writer Juliette Roche (1884–1980)

Portrait of the artist in Serrières, c.1920/25 / Oil on cardboard / Fondation Albert Gleizes, Paris, FR

(She has a few self-portraits here and there on the internet, but mostly small or people’s personal snapshots and usually without any information. Very frustrating!)
