Born in Paris, 12 September 1812, she exhibited her work under her maiden name, Serret, although later she did so using her married name, Cabart.[1][2]
Marie-Ernestine was the sister of mathematician Joseph-Alfred Serret. In 1845, she married Charles-François Cabart,[3] with whom she had three sons including Charles-Maurice Cabart, who became a deputy and then a senator of Manche.[2]
She was a pupil of artist Hortense Haudebourt-Lescot (who was a student of famed portraitist Vigée Le Brun). Serret worked in pastels and oils and her subjects ranged from portraits and still lifes to religious scenes.[1]
Between 1834 and 1849, several of her portraits and studies were shown including Meditation, Jewess, Italian Woman, Carmelite Nun and Christ at the House of Simon.[1] She also participated in the 8th annual exhibition of the Museum of Rouen in 1840.[2]
In 1884, she died in Paris and was buried in the cemetery of La Glacerie in Manche, northwestern France.[4][5][2]
