More information
Madam Huot had a significant influence on Ivan Aguéli's life and art. Ulf Linde writes about her in the catalog of the Thielska Galleriets collection: "Madame Huot - Sager-Nelson perceived as 'a proud woman - intelligent, oh my' - was Ivan Aguéli's eccentric and possessively jealous lover. Marie Huot was a poet, a passionate animal lover, a vegetarian, and an occultist. At night, she and Aguéli used to go on excursions in Paris to rescue sick cats, which they then cared for in her apartment. Aguéli was completely won over by her animal-friendly ideas - to the extent that on June 4, 1900, he shot at a bullfighter in Deuil. As usual, Marie Huot was by his side, and as usual, she was dressed in a heavily embroidered Renaissance costume."
Aguéli painted another portrait of Huot, which is now part of the Moderna Museet's collection. His friend Sager-Nelson also portrayed her in a famous portrait, which is included in Thielska Galleriet's collection.
