Grandpierre-Deverzy depicts a very different view of her husband at work in his studio in her 1836 painting Workshop of Abel de Pujol.

This gesture of modesty, as well as the nude male sculpture in the background whose arm obscures his genitals, are examples of the limitations placed on women artists due to the social mores and moral proprieties of the 19th century.[3]
Grandpierre-Deverzy also painted interiors and literary subjects, including one painting based on
