Dubourg was born in Paris and trained with artist Fanny Chéron.[1] There, she met the painter Henri Fantin-Latour, whom she married in 1876. She collaborated with him on his floral paintings, but also produced works under her own name that she signed "V Dubourg".[1] Dubourg has been critiqued as an artist whose work lacks originality, simply reproducing the styles of her well known husband.[2] However, a careful review of her early work shows that Dubourg began producing still life two years prior to meeting Fantin-Latour.[3]
Her painting A Basket of Flowers was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[4]
