In 1910 she was awarded the Prix Galimard-Jaubert, worth the substantial sum of 4,800 Francs payable over four years. [3] In 1912 she painted Lord de Saumarez, of Guernsey. [4] Other subjects included Helen Templeton Pogue, the Duchess of Nemours, and the Countess Rosario Schiffner de Larrechea de Zubov. [2]
In 1939 she was appointed to the Legion of Honour, the jewel of which was bestowed on her by her old painting master Marcel Baschet, commander of the Order. She died at Paris on 31 July 1965. [2]
