Cecilia Beaux: The Best of the Best

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #008 The Lady Artists, Part 2

Cecilia Beaux was the daughter of a French silk merchant who abandoned her as an infant.  The household where she grew up was under the domain of several strong women, and Cecilia learned her lessons well.  She may be the only American woman painter to be mentioned in the same breath as Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sergeant.
