The French Expressionist painter Claire Bertrand-Eisenschitz was the wife of the Austro-French painter Willy Eisenschitz, mother of the painter Eveline Marc (Évelyn Marc, Evely Marc) and photographer David Eisenschitz, and grandmother of the painter and sculptor Délie Duparc (Estelle Delvolvé). Her father was the geologist Marcel Bertrand, her mother the pianist and Mathilde Mascart. Claire Bertrand was the granddaughter of the mathematician Joseph Bertrand. Bertrand studied in Paris at the Académie Julien and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, in the class of René Ménard and Lucien Simon. There she met Willy Eisenschitz, whom she married in 1913.

In 1921 and 1922 she exhibited at the Société nationale des beaux-arts and from 1922 to 1938 at the Salon d'automne.
