Duvall began her art studies with William Sartain at the Art Students League and at Cooper Union. From New York she moved to Paris where she studied at Whistler’s school, popularly known as Académie Carmen since it was run by James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s ex-model, Carmen Rossi, and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière with Olga Boznańska and Antonio de La Gándara.[2][3]
