Abigail de Andrade

Abigail de Andrade (1864–1890) was a Brazilian painter.[1]

Life and career
Um canto do meu ateliê (A corner of my studio), (1884)

Andrade was born in Vassouras, in the province of Rio de Janeiro. She studied at the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios in 1882, one year after the institution first admitted women. Her teachers included Angelo Agostini and Joaquim José Insley Pacheco. Andrade painted genre scenes, still lifes and portraits.[2]

Andrade participated in the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts' Salon in 1884, winning the gold medal.[3] Two of her paintings, O cesto de compras (Shopping basket) and Um canto do meu ateliê (A corner of my studio), were praised by the art critics. She had two solo exhibitions in 1886 in Rio de Janeiro, at Casa Vicitas and Casa Costrajean.

Personal life

Andrade's relationship with her teacher Agostini, who was married, outraged Rio de Janeiro society.[3] The couple left Brazil in 1888 for Paris, with their daughter Angelina, who also became a painter.

Andrade had a second son with Agostini, Angelo, who died of tuberculosis after birth. She died a year later of the same illness.[4][5]
