Paule Gobillard was the niece of Berthe Morisot and also studied with her. She grew up in an artistic milieu. She was encouraged by Renoir, and her work was praised by Degas and the poet Stéphane Mallarmé. She worked in both pastel and oil and became known for her charming and intimate scenes of childhood, of Parisian life, bouquets of flowers, and still lifes. She first exhibited in Paris in 1894 at the Salon des Artistes Français. Beginning in 1904, she exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants, Salon d’Automne, and the Salon des Tuileries. 

Her painting, Madame Paul Valéry and Her Son Claude is in the permanent Collection of Musée du Petit Palais in Paris.
