Charlotte var dóttir Henry Anne de Fuligny-Damas (1669 – 1745); Comte de Rochechouart (a commune in the Haute-Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in west-central France), Baron de Couches ( a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France), Marigny-sur-Ouche (a commune in the Côte-d’Or department in eastern France.), Aubigny (a commune of the Allier department in central France), Agey (a commune in the Côte-d’Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France) and Saint-Péreuse (a commune in the Nièvre department in central France).
Faðir hennar lést þegar hún var þriggja ára, og þegar hún var sjö ára gömul var hún sett í umsjá canoneses í Remiremont Abbey þar sem hún hlaut klassíska menntun sína; and sometime during this period her caregivers took note of her drawing talent and she was then sent to Paris to receive art instruction from French Artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725 – 1805) og hollenski kyrralífsblómamálarinn Gérard van Spaendonck (1746 – 1822).
It wasn’t much later in her life and after she had to flee from france due to the political termoil of the time, þegar hún var um fimmtugt; að hæfileikar hennar voru viðurkenndir í Flórens, Ítalíu; og það var svo hágæða að hún var nefnd Rafael (Raffaello Sanzio frá Urbino (1483 – 1520) – Ítalskur málari og arkitekt á endurreisnartímanum) af blómum eftir ítalska nýklassíska myndhöggvarann Antonio Canova (1757 – 1822).
