Specializing in floral paintings, Jeannie de Hemptinne trained in painting in the private studio of Jean Portaels, whom she frequented with Marguérite Dielman, Camille Triest-Van Mulders, Sophie Pir and Julie de Gault-Lorain. She was active between ca. 1887 and 1890. After a first participation in the Brussels Salon in 1887, she was found at the Cercle des femmes peintres in 1888, at the triennial Salon of Namur in 1889 and, in 1890, again at the Cercle des femmes peintres , as well as at the Brussels Salon ('Le Cercle des femmes peintres 1888-1893 & Kikie Crêvecoeur', Namur, 2024, p. 92). Jeannie de Hemptinne was very recently also given an important place in the various Ensor exhibitions in Ostend (link).
