She first received recognition for her work at age 23 when she painted a portrait of lesbian actress Sarah Bernhardt, her lifelong friend. She never married which has led to the general assumption that she was a lesbian too.<br \/>\nLouise became a successful impressionist painter and was also an accomplished printmaker, sculptor, and designer, as well as a writer who made regular contributions to the journals Gazette des Beaux-Arts and L&#8217;Art. She exhibited regularily at the Salon in Paris form 1878 to 1926.
