Step into a powerful moment of introspection with Anxiety (1908) by Marie d’Epinay.

Exhibited at the prestigious Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1908, this striking oil on canvas captures a deeply human emotion with remarkable intensity. Through bold composition and sensitivity, d’Epinay gives form to an inner turmoil that feels just as relevant today as it did over a century ago.

This monumental work (180 x 119 cm) stands as a testament to the expressive strength and artistic voice of women painters too often overlooked in art history.

Join us in celebrating forgotten talents and untold stories.
