Louise-Adéone Drölling

Louise-Adéone Drölling, also known as Madame Joubert (29 May 1797 – 20 March 1834) was a French painter and draughtswoman. Both her father, Martin Drolling, and her older brother, Michel Martin Drolling, were celebrated artists in their day.

Biography Louise-Adéone Drölling was born 29 May 1797. At about age 10, she modeled for her father for the small Portrait of the Artist's Daughter (Musée Magnin, Dijon), and later, at age 15, for the life-sized Portrait of Adéone (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Strasbourg). Around this time, she was encouraged by her father to begin a career in painting.

In 1819, Louise-Adéone married the architect Jean-Nicolas Pagnierre. She became a widow in 1822 and remarried four years later, in 1826. With her second husband, chief tax officer (octroi) of the city of Paris, Nicholas Roch Joubert (son of politician and former bishop ), she had two daughters, Adéone Louise Sophie, and Angélique Marie.

The list of her belongings after her death (inventaire après décès) was made on 30 April 1836.
