Eugénie Charen
Inez de Castro and her Children at the feet of the king of Portugal 1822, oil on canvas
Eugénie Honorée Marguerite Charen[1] (1786 – 20 March 1855) was a French painter.
Sometimes known as Mme de Servières, she trained under Lethière and specialized in genre period paintings, and was awarded medals by the Paris Salon of 1808 and 1817 for her work. Her Matilda makes Malek Abdel promise to become a Christian (1812) was engraved by Mme Soyer, whilst the evocative Inez de Castro and her Children at the feet of the king of Portugal remains at the Trianon Palace at Versailles, near Paris.
In 1807 she married the playwright Joseph Servières.
