When the artist met her, she was working as a bookseller. They did not marry until their son, also called Paul was fourteen. Relations were subsequently difficult between the artist and Hortense, and she eventually moved to Paris, where she lived until her return to Jas de Bouffan, after the death of her husband. (Jas de Bouffan, in Provence, was their former home, and where Cezanne was still living at the time of his death)
