Louise Marie-Jeanne Mauduit was born in Paris on 7 March 1784 to an unknown mother and Antoine-René Mauduit, an architect and mathematician.
In 1810, her works were first displayed at the Paris Salon, and would be displayed until 1824. Her artworks obtained first-class medals in 1817 and 1819.
She studied under Charles Meynier and possibly her husband, Louis Hersent.
