Corinne or Corry Franzén-Heslenfeld was the daughter of Wilhelmus Henricus Maria Heslenfeld, a prominent manufacturer and merchant in Bussum, and Cornelia Carolina Maria Schaepman. She pursued her artistic training at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Mentored by distinguished artists Jan Bronner and Johannes Hendricus Jurres, she also received private guidance from Lambert Lourijsen. In recognition of her talent, Corinne was honoured with the prestigious Prix de Rome award. From the 1920s, she established herself as a notable sculptor based in The Hague.
