Born in Nantes on December 25, 1840, Joséphine Houssaye was a pupil of Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury and Jean-Jacques Henner at the Académie Julian. She is the sister of the sculptor Frédéric Houssaye (1827-1899). She began as a painter at the Salon of 1868. She exhibited at the women's pavilion at the Universal Exhibition of 1878. She joined the Society of French Artists in 1883. She obtained a third class medal at the Salon of 1892 and a silver medal at the World's Fair of 1900. In 1893, the organizers of the Chicago World's Fair granted a pavilion dedicated to Women: this Woman's Building incorporated around a hundred visual artists from all over the world, including thirty French painters, partly forgotten, including Joséphine Houssaye. She is part of the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors. Her large canvas, The Lesson, was reproduced in the book Women Painters of the World published in 1905
