Héloïse Colin


Héloïse Suzanne Colin (1819–1873) was an 19th-century woman painter and fashion illustrator during the Second French Empire.

Héloïse Colin was the daughter of painter Alexandre-Marie Colin and Marie Joseph Juhel. She married Auguste Leloir with whom she had two sons: the illustrator Maurice Leloir and the painter Alexandre-Louis Leloir.

She exhibited her first drawings in the 1835 edition of the Salon. She basically painted watercolors and became known for her portraits of small dimensions. Heloise with her two sisters Adèle Anaïs Toudouze and Laure Noël were among the greatest illustrators of Parisian fashion of the mid-nineteenth.
