Madeleine Plantey was a pupil of Tony Tollet in Lyon. His workshop is located rue Laurencin. She painted nudes, dancers and still lifes. On Sundays, she travels the countryside to paint landscapes and pick wild flowers that make up her still life subjects. She also produces landscapes of Brittany. She exhibits in a gallery on rue Auguste Comte in Lyon, and annually presents her works "hors-concours" at the Salon des Beaux-arts in Lyon. She obtains prizes in the Parisian Salons, she is a member of the Society of French Artists. In 1939, the Galerie Charpentier devoted an exhibition to him.

This portrait dates from his early years, during his artistic training, in a beautiful color chart of brown shades, and in a fairly academic style.

Her works are present at the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon, the Calvet Museum in Avignon and the Museum of Modern Art in Saint Etienne.
