Julieta De França
Julieta de França (1870–1951) was a pioneering Brazilian sculptor. The first woman to win the Prêmio de viagem ao exterio (Prize for travel abroad) in 1900, she was able to study at the Académie Julian in Paris. On returning to Brazil five years later, her proposal for participating in a contest for a work representing the Republic of Brazil was refused on the grounds that her submission was not representative. In retrospect, the refusal appears simply to have been because she was a woman.

She began studying under the Italian artist Domenico de Angelis in 1897 after which she attended live model class at the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (ENDA) in Rio de Janeiro.

People From Belém
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
