Hector-Henri-Clement Brame (1831–1899) was an actor in Paris when he began dealing art with Paul Durand-Ruel.[1] His list of clients at the time included Francois Bonvin, Narcisse Virgilio Díaz, Eugene Fromentin, and Camille Corot.[1]

The gallery is known for its expertise in Degas, evaluating or appraising dozens of purported Degas works each year.[2]
