Claudine Brunand (1630 in Lyon – 1674) was a French poet and engraver, who had learned the art of engraving from her father, Aymé Brunand. Brunand was likely related to the woodcutter Michel Brunand. She worked for several printers and publishers in her native Lyon as well as in Germany. She remained unmarried but was able to earn a living with a profession that was dominated by men. At first, Brunand's oeuvre consisted only of commissions for portraits and frontispieces. In 1670, she illustrated the life of Teresa of Avila with 56 engravings in a work entitled La Vie de la Seraphique Mere Sainte Terese de Jesus, Fondatrice des Carmes Déchaussez & des Carmelites Déchaussées. En Figures, & en Vers François & Latins. Avec un Abbregé de l’Histoire, une Reflexion Morale, & une Resolution Chrestienne sur châque Figure. Brunand also made heraldic paintings.
