Bruyère was the daughter of Jean-Jacques-François Le Barbier (1738–1826),[1] a noted French writer, illustrator, and painter of French historical scenes. Her sister Henriette was also a painter. Bruyère was of the Realist school of French painting, she had studied with Jean-Baptiste Jacques Augustin and Jan Frans van Dael[2][3] and her still lifes, particularly her paintings of flowers, are remarkably detailed. A typical work, Vase de fleurs, is in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.[4][5]
In 1795 she married the civil engineer Louis Bruyère.
