Women Artists, Early Twentieth Century.

Women peer from a photo of Matisse's 1909 Les Invalides Paris studio.  It seems a rarity to find a photograph of women of that era present as artists in the studio.

Women among Matisse's students - early twentieth century.

I gratefully found this photo among the pages of Gilles Neret's comprehensive and excellent book - Matisse - Konecky and Konecky 1993, p. 263.
