Thérèse-Marie-Rosine GERALDY  was born to Louis Paul GERALDY and Marie- Anne-Elizabeth DELSARTE (daughter of François DelSarte) on June 18, 1884 and died on July 31, 1965. She was one of four children the couple issued. Unfortunately,  history has forgotten  the connection between this well-noted artist and the DelSarte family. We know offer conclusive evidence that Thérèse Marie  Rosine was part of the artistic legacy started by  Philippy de Bucelly d'Estrées (Source 2).

Thérèse Marie  Rosine  trained under her aunt, the oil-painting artist, Magdeleine REAL del SARTE (the mother of Maxime Real del Sarte) and other important artists such as Marcel BASCHET and Henri ROYER (Source14 ). 

 Thérèse Marie  Rosine was part of the renowned Académie Julian founded by Rodolphe Julian. She was mainly known as a portraitist and worked with pastels and oils. Among her clients were the the Countess Rosario Schiffner de Larrechea de Zubov and James St Vincent (1843–1937), 4th Baron de Saumarez

In 1901
Thérèse Marie  Rosine  was exhibited in Paris and was a member of the Society of French Artists . In 1939 she was made a Knight (Chevalier) of the French Legion of Honor.

4) Silver Medal at the International Exposition  - 1937
