Jeanne Klein studied at the Ecole nationale des arts décoratifs in Limoges from 1889 to 1894. Her teachers included the painters Auguste Aridas and Charles Bichet. She studied drawing there, as well as porcelain painting. After her studies at the ENAD, she began a career as a drawing teacher in Limoges.
Jeanne Klein also pursued a career as a painter. She presents her works at exhibitions in Limoges and Paris. Throughout her life as an artist, her work will be influenced by the pictorial ideas of her friend Charles Bichet. Her painting is situated in the post-impressionist movement, whose light and colors can be found in her canvases and watercolors. Jeanne Klein lived in Limoges all her life, until her death in 1966.
The journalist and writer Robert Margerit expressed himself thus on the work of Jeanne Klein, in 1931: "It is permitted to many to draw and to juxtapose colors, it is permitted to very few to create harmonies, and Jeanne Klein has the good fortune to be one of these inspired ones. Light or brutal, harsh or soft, all her colors sing and any of her paintings forms a whole where nothing can be added or taken away: this is the criterion, and as, on the other hand, her watercolors are remarkably drawn, Jeanne Klein is therefore truly a beautiful artist and a complete artist, which is rare."
