Bourgot Le Noir was a French female illuminator in the mid-fourteenth century who assisted her father, Jean Le Noir, with his work.
While it is impossible to discern which hands created each individual work, it is very plausible that Bourgot's work is interspersed with her father's. The collaboration of father and daughter is significant and marks the beginning of an increase of women in the Bruges painter's guild records, which was found to be 12 percent female in 1454, and continued to grow to 25 percent by the later 1400s.[1]
