Pauline Jamar (1850–1909) is a Belgian painter from Liège, known for her floral still lifes, landscapes and decorative watercolors. Trained by Édouard van Marcke, she exhibited in several Belgian salons from 1878 and was an active member of the Circle of Women Painters and the Royal Circle of Fine Arts of Liège. Her delicate and naturalistic style reflects the 19th-century taste for refined floral painting. Her works are now held in several institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts of Liège (BAL), the Museum of Walloon Life, and the City of Seraing, testifying to her regional roots and her recognition in Belgian artistic heritage.
