Cercle des Femmes Peintres

The Cercle des Femmes Peintres ("Circle of Women Painters") was a society for women artists in Brussels, active during the years 1888–1893.

This society was meant to be a local version of the Paris-based Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs.

Eugénie Beauvois, a still-life painter, was named the vice chairman at the start, which was an idea formed by Berthe Art.

Most of the ladies who joined had previously been refused a seat at all other official artist societies due to their sex.

Among the members were Jeanne Adrighetti, Alix d'Anethan, Berthe Art, Marie de Bièvre, Marguérite Dielman, Mathilde Dupré-Lesprit, Mary Gasparioli, Marie Heijermans, Pauline Jamar, Rosa Leigh, Alice Ronner, Emma Ronner, Rosa Venneman, Marguerite Verboeckhoven and Emma Verwee.
