She sometimes exhibited with her sister Marie-Guillemine,^[2] as in the exhibition at la place Dauphine in 1786 where she displayed Dame en satin blanc, garnie de marte; and in 1788, Artémise serre sur son cœur l'urne contenant les cendres de Mausole; and in 1789, Une Vestale infidèle. In 1791, she exhibited Artémise in the Salon de l'Académie.
