Caroline Espinet

Caroline Espinet, née Jacquier (29 March 1844, Lyon - 3 November 1912, Nantes) was a French painter.

She was born to Pierre Victor Jacquier (1799-1881), an army doctor, and his wife Marie-Louise, née Le Nézet.

During the 1860s, she and her sister Élodie took drawing lessons from the painter and photographer, Ernest Corroller (1822-1893).

Many of her paintings may be seen at the Musée de la Compagnie des Indes [fr].

In 1943, her family home was hit by a bombardment and a large number of her works were destroyed.
