Primarily known as a landscape painter, Yvonne "Vonnot" Viollet (Vonnot as a diminutive of Yvonne) was born in France (Le Havre) in 1883 and passed away in Schaerbeek in 1936.
She is said to be the illegitimate granddaughter of the brother of the famous architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. She is believed to have served as a model for Privat Livemont for the sgraffito on the facades of 17 Vogler Street in Schaerbeek and 79 Bel-Air Avenue in Uccle. Moreover, she lived in the studio at 17 Vogler Street after the death of the painter Alfred Ruytinx (nephew of Privat Livemont) until her own death in 1936. Yvonne Vonnot Viollet modeled several times for the painter Oswald Poreau, whom she studied under before becoming his partner.
