    'Mademoiselle Hamély', fut le modèle à la mode des années 1853-55. On la retrouve posant dans l'atelier de Delacroix, Moulin, Durieu, Tournachon... Mademoiselle Hamély eut une autre carrière que celle de modèle, elle fut pantomime, incarnant le personnage de Pierrette, donnant la réplique au mime Kalpestry dans son rôle de Pierrot. Le journal l'Entracte du 12 mars 1853 annonçait ses débuts : 'Mademoiselle Hamély l'un des plus gracieux modèles de tableaux vivants, débutera comme mime et jouera dans Les amours de Pierrette.'
