Biography

She was born in Brussels. Collart was primarily self-taught as an artist, but benefited from the advice of Alfred Verwee, Léonce Chabry and the art dealer and critic Arthur Stevens. She became a founding member of the Société Libre des Beaux-Arts in 1868. In 1870, she won a gold medal at the Salon des artistes français. In 1871, Collart married Edmond Henrotin, an artillery captain; he died in 1894. She became the first women to be named a Chevalier in the Belgian Order of Leopold in 1880. She won gold medals at exhibitions in Ghent (1881), in Paris and in Brussels (1897).[1][2] Collart exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.[3]

Collart died at Nebida in Sardinia at the age of 68.[2]

Her work is included in the collections of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp and Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.[4]
