Life
[edit | edit source]Sadler was born on 7 July 1869 in Toul.[1]
She trained at the Julian Academy[2] and studied with Marcel Baschet and Henri Lucien Doucet.[3] She exhibited at the Nancy and Paris Salons. She began at the Paris Salon in 1894 and exhibited miniature paintings at the Nancy Salon.[3]
She made her home in Grez-sur-Loing and painted pictures of the area. The town was popular with artists including the visitors like the Glasgow Boys.[4] In 1910 she began to collect paintings for the town, prompted by a suggestion and donations by Charles Moreau-Vauthier. The local museum now houses the collection which still receives donations by visiting artists.[5]
She had shown an interest in art documenting the role of local and visiting artists.[2] In 1907 she was awarded a silver medal by the Société de Géographie for her monograph on the artists of Grez-sur-Loing.[6] Sadler became Grez-sur-Loing's mayor in 1945.[5] The town has her self portrait in their collection.[3]
Sadler died in 1949 in Nemours.[1]
