Louise Catherine Breslau (Munich, December 6, 1856 - Paris, May 12, 1927) was a German born Swiss artist. Although she naturalised to Switzerland, she showed her loyalty for the French by drawing numerous portraits of French soldiers and nurses on their way to the World War 1 Front. After the war, Breslau retired from the public and spent much of her time painting flowers from her garden and entertaining friends. In 1927 Breslau died after a long illness.
