The actress Marthe Mellot (1870-1947) married the writer Alfred Natanson in 1901, whom she got to know through Edourd Vuillard. Together with his older brothers Alexandre and Thadée, he had founded the 'Revue Blanche' while she appeared in the 'Théatre de l'Oeuvre' - two central institutions of the Parisian avant-garde around 1900. In 1906, Vallotton painted a pair of portraits of the two (Marina Ducrey: Félix Vallotton 1865-1925, 3 vols. (Lausanne/Milan 2005; = Oeuvrekataloge Schweizer Künstler 22), no. 571, 573).
