Research announcement: Cécile (1853-1937) and Marie (1856-1938) Desliens

In preparation for a temporary exhibition scheduled for October 2026, the Cité de l’Accordéon et des Patrimoines, Tulle’s municipal museum, is seeking to compile a catalogue of works (paintings and drawings) by Cécile (1853–1937) and Marie (1856–1938) Desliens.
These sisters, both painters, were active and exhibited at the Salon in the last quarter of the 19th century, signing their works with their intertwined initials.

Anyone, whether a private individual or public collection, who owns works or archives (correspondence, photographs) related to these artists can contact the Tulle Museum at:
