Paula Monjé was a German painter of the Düsseldorf School.

Paula Monjé was the daughter of Hermann Monjé (1807-1849) from Wesel, a Protestant divisional preacher at the Düsseldorf garrison church from 1836, and Maria (* 1809), née Bölling from Düsseldorf. Clara Pauline Agathe was born on Poststrasse and, after attending the Luisenschule, did not receive her artistic training at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, but privately with Eduard Gebhardt and Wilhelm Sohn. Her fellow students were Julia Schily-Koppers, Sophie Meyer, Margaret Harte and Margarete Loewe.

In Paris, Monjé studied in the studio of Jean Baptiste Courtois (1819-1870). Study trips took her to the Netherlands and Italy. Monjé mainly painted portraits and genre paintings. She was a member of the Allgemeine Deutsche Kunstgenossenschaft as well as the Verein Düsseldorfer Künstlerinnen and the Verein der Düsseldorfer Künstler zur gegenseitigen Unterstützung und Hülfe and took part in numerous exhibitions, including the Berlin Academy exhibitions at the Kunstbaracke from 1878 to 1884 and the International Art Exhibition at the Glaspalast in Munich in 1894.

From the end of the 1870s, she was regularly represented at exhibitions organized by the Düsseldorf gallery owners Eduard Schulte and Bismeyer & Kraus. From 1890, Monjé also moved to Berlin, but continued to live and work in Düsseldorf. She exhibited at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition in 1893, 1894, 1895, 1897, 1899 and 1899 and was a member of the Association of Berlin Women Artists from 1890 to 1894, where she won first prize in one of its competitions in 1891. As a member of the Malkasten Künstlerverein, she contributed a portrait of Edmund Henoumont to the anniversary exhibition at the Kunsthalle. Her studio was located in the Eiskellerberg between 1895 and 1901, at the same time as the painters Carl Becker Wilhelm Döringer, Heinrich Otto, Rudolf Zahner (1825-1903) and Hugo Zieger. Afterwards, until her death, she retired to her private address in Rochusstraße, where she shared an apartment with her younger sister Eugenie (* 1845).
