Marie was 19 when she posed for the painting Chloe. This is her story. Chloe is a National Icon protected by the National Trust and Heritage of the State of Victoria (listed 1988). She was painted by the French master Jules Joseph Lefebvre, regarded as one of the greatest painters of the 19th century. The work is without doubt the most famous, most viewed and most loved foreign work of art in Australia. The name Chloe comes from the Greek for tender sprout, or budding beauty.
