After working as a lawyer and taking courses in "Méthodes d'expertise des objets d'art et du marché de l'art" at the Université Panthéon-Assas (DU - 2019), Pauline Deschamps-Kahn continues her studies in the history of Italian Renaissance painting, at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE/PSL). She is the author of a dissertation on "Underdrawings in Florentine Painting in the first half of the 16th century". Her doctoral thesis, entitled  "The representation of fabrics by Italian painters during the Renaissance (1480-1545): sources, materials and materiality" explores both the use of pigments available to Cinquecento painters, and the pictorial practices of their workshops. Since 2023, Pauline Deschamps-Kahn has been attached to the French Museums Laboratory (C2RMF) for the forensic aspects of its research.

After completing an internship with the scientific consultancy AGALMATA in 2020, she collaborates independently on the scientific study of La Madone Chatron, under Dr Laure Chevalier's supervision.
