This lecture situates the work of the lesser known Beaux--whose popular
and critical reputation at the turn of the twentieth century exceeded
that of her now acclaimed fellow Philadelphians Thomas Eakins and Mary
Cassatt--in the broader context of American portrait painting. It
further traces Beaux's rise and fall in American art history in terms of
issues of gender, class, and the importance of place.
