This Round: Claude Raguet Hirst 1855 - 1942

---

Claude Raguet Hirst (born Claudine) was an American painter of still lifes. She was the only woman of her era to gain acclaim using the trompe-l'œil ("fool the eye") technique. She was described as "the female Harnett" in reference to her contemporary, William Harnett.

---

Beginning in the 1870s, she truncated her name to "Claude", possibly to avoid the sexism that stymied many women artists of the era.
