Marguerite-Valentine-Jenny Zillhardt (Jenny Zillhardt) was born on 16 March 1857 at Saint-Quentin in Aisne. She began studying painting at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1877, alongside Louise Catherine Breslau and Marie Bashkirtseff.[1] She studied under Tony Robert-Fleury.
She first exhibited at the salon in 1878 with Deux amis. From that time forward, her frequent participation in the Salon garnered her several sales.[2]
She was part of the French female group who were represented at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, an exhibit in the Woman's Building.[3]
Her works were included in the collections of the Musée d'Orsay,[4] the museum of Langres, and the museum of Saint-Quentin.[5]
She was made an officer of public instruction (officier de l'instruction publique) in 1910,[6] and received the Legion of Honor (chevalier de la légion d'honneur) in 1930.[7]
Her painting Régalez-vous mesdames was included in the 1905 work of British art historian Walter Shaw Sparrow, Women Painters of the World.[8][9]
Jenny Zillhardt died in February 1939[1] at Neuilly-sur-Seine.[2]
Jenny Zillhardt was the sister of Madeleine Zillhardt, model and companion of Louise Catherine Breslau.
