Marie Elisabeth Aimée Lucas-Robiquet was a French Orientalist artist who worked within the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français. Lucas-Robiquet was recognized for her paintings of African and Algerian subjects. The 1897 edition of Parisian Illustrated Review cites her outdoor studies for a "wise tendency toward reasonable impressionism" by "an artist of the highest order."
Works by Lucas-Robiquet have sold well in the past few years. In the early 21st century, Christie's house sold, at public auction, two of her paintings in the $13,000 to 18,000 range. Another work, Portrait of a boy on a beach, was offered in the $30,000 to $50,000 range by Christie's.. Yet another work, Tahedat filant, earned $141,033, far above the auctioneer's estimate, although that was at the height of the market in 2008, before the world-wide recession hit the market for fine art very hard. Several of her Salon paintings were also exhibited recently by Milmo-Penny Fine Art for private sale.
Rachel Goldberg-Polin named one of TIME's 100 most influential people TIME
said her inclusion in the list was "in recognition of the impact she and
her husband Jon Polin...have had in raising global awareness of the hostage
crisis." By JERUSALEM POST STAFF APRIL 17, 2024 15:54 Updated: APRIL 17,
