Pierrette Lambert

Pierrette Lambert (born 10 june 1928 in Orches, France) is a French artist known for designing and engraving banknotes and postage stamps.

Biography

Pierrette Lambert began her studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Poitiers in 1943. She studied in Paris at the School of design and applied arts trade and industry, then at the Ecole Estienne. She discovered engraving through art miniature. Her works were exhibited at the gallery Ror Volmar in 1957.

An exhibition of her miniature gallery Ror Volmar was noticed in 1957 by Guitard, a director of Bank of France in charge of the manufacture of banknotes. Employed by the French central bank, she drew among other banknotes, effigies of Racine (50 francs) and Louis Pasteur (5 francs). Subsequently, she drew the 200 francs Montesquieu in 1981 and many notes for french territories.

She competed in the design for the euro banknotes, but Robert Kalina's works were selected.
