Congrats to Debbie and Brigitte who found the right answer.

George Sand used to open her house to many famous friends : writers, painters, musicians.

Making researches for this post, I have found an artist : Catherine Mouligné, who imitates famous hand writing for movies, TV series... best way to be a counterfeiter,
she wrote like George Sand for a movie "Les enfants du siècle" (GS was played by Juliette Binoche)

  1. Beautiful paintings - of course George Sand! I was confused by "persuasion" to think it was Jane Austen!
