Marie Henriques came from an artistic family that supported her in her dream of becoming an artist. She started her artistic education with private tuition from the painter Frants Henningsen(1850–1908), and in 1888, her father paid for a six-month stay in Paris, where she received instruction from the painters Alfred Stevens (1823–1906), Christian Krogh (1852–1925), and Othon Friesz (1879–1949). The same year she became a student at the newly established Academy of Fine Arts’ School of Art for Women (Kunstakademiets Kunstskole for Kvinder), where she studied until 1893.
Henriques made her debut at Charlottenborg in 1889, and she exhibited here for several years. In addition, she participated in a large number of exhibitions and had several solo exhibitions. She painted naturalistically but was also influenced by the Impressionists. She also found a role model in Anna Ancher (1859–1935) and painted, like her, portraits, interiors, and still lifes.
