Historical context
Marie J. A. Leclaire belonged to the same remarkable generation that produced Général de Division Théodore François Joseph Leclaire and Louis Jean Baptiste Leclaire. As a daughter of Jean Pierre Le Claire and Jacqueline Van der Vyvere, she formed part of the generation through which the family's Lorraine and Flemish inheritances were carried forward into the late eighteenth century.
