An artist and woman of letters, she worked under three different male pseudonyms, the best known being Roch Grey. A wealthy woman, she and her cousin, the painter Serge Férat, became patrons of the Parisian avant-garde. In particular, she financed Apollinaire's magazine Les Soirées de Paris. A close friend of Marinetti, she welcomed him in 1913, along with Apollinaire and Boccioni, when they wrote the Manifesto of Futurist Antitradition. A major work on Futurist typography that belonged to the Baroness of Œttingen. Spine and spine ends old restored, but still fragile, leaves browned, one of the plates is torn in two without missing.
