2023-05-08 182 Portrait of Cecil Kent Drinker (1891); Cecilia Beaux, Philadelphia Museum of Art |
Here Beaux paints her nephew in her signature quick and brushstroke-heavy style. The artist's familiarity with her sitter makes her just as successful in capturing his personality as she is at recording his likeness. . Widely exhibited shortly after its completion, this portrait helped make Beaux a much sought-after portraitist. |
