In many countries of Europe, the Art Academies were the institutions that promoted artists and also was responsible for training artists, exhibiting artwork, promote a certain style, and promoting the sale of art. In France, the influential Academy of Art in Paris until the French Revolution had only fifteen women among its members, and many were daughters or wives of members anyway. In the late 18th century, the French Academy decided not to admit any women at all. Because of this, Marie-Gabrielle Capet became a pupil of Madame Vincent, (Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. Capet moved at the age of twenty to Paris to be the apprentice of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803). She moved in with her teacher in the Louvre, and she lived with Adélaïde Labille-Guiard until her teacher died.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=marie-gabrielle+capet+biography )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=marie-gabrielle+capet+biography )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Women Artists in Nineteenth–Century France )〕 Even when Adélaïde Labille-Guiard married the painter François Vincent in 1799, she continued to live in their home. Many of her pastel paintings were portraits. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Marie-Gabrielle Capet )〕〔Heller, Nancy G., ''Women Artists: An Illustrated History'', Abbeville Press, Publishers, New York 1987 ISBN 978-0-89659-748-8〕 She exhibited from 1781, producing a large number of portraits.
