Cecilia Beaux was a leading American painter, celebrated for elegant, psychologically nuanced portraits of society figures and those close to her. Bridging academic training with modern sensitivity, she became one of the most respected portraitists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, admired for refined tonal values, compelling gazes, and brushwork that is both controlled and lively.
