She eventually sold 'The Red Vineyard,' claiming it was so good that it inhibited her own painting.
She is remembered less for her own career than as a footnote to Van Gogh's.

Why she might not be annoying:

She was the only female member of the Belgian avant-garde art group Les XX.
She accumulated one of the most important collections of impressionist and post-impressionist art of her day.
In her will, she established a fund to support poor artists in their retirement.
