Jadwiga MATAWOWSKA (1874-1963) Prayer Oil on panel, signed lower left. 41,5 x 33 cm It is hard to find this artist in biographical dictionaries, unless you know her other name Hedda Stoffrengen. This painter, now forgotten, had his heyday at the beginning of the 20th century. Despite her name and place of birth, she spent her youth in Warsaw, before leaving for Paris to study at the Académie Julian under Jules Lefebvre and Tony Robert-Fleury. She won prizes at the Salon of 1899 and at the Universal Exhibition in 1900, and also exhibited with the Society of Polish Artists. Jadwiga Matawowska became known for her portraits of high society, including, for example, those of Empress Alexandra Fedorovna, Queen Elisabeth and Albert I of Belgium. She also painted symbolist scenes. She spent the last part of her life in Woluwe Saint-Pierre, a residential suburb of Brussels, in a modernist villa of 1926 that she had commissioned jointly with a certain Teresa Szlenker.
