Gachet was born in 1869 to
Paul Gachet and his wife. Her younger brother was born at the family's new home in
Auvers-sur-Oise. She met Van Gogh when she was nineteen. The date of Van Gogh's painting of her is certain as one of Van Gogh's frequent letters to his brother, Theo, details the painting. Vincent describes the cypresses and flowers in Dr Gachet's garden and the "white figure" he included. The paintings appeared in catalogues in 1928, but they were owned privately. Gachet never married and died in 1949. She was buried in the
Père Lachaise Cemetery. The pictures of her, along with many other valuable family paintings, were given to a museum. ==References==
