BEAUX, CECILIA (1863– ), American portrait-painter, was born in Philadelphia (Pa.), where she became a pupil of William Sartain. But her real art training was obtained in Paris, where she started in the atelier Julian and had the coaching of painters like Robert-Fleury, Bouguereau and Dagnan Bouveret. In 1890 she exhibited at the Paris Exposition. Returning to Philadelphia, Miss Beaux obtained in 1893 the gold medal of the Philadelphia Art Club, and the Dodge prize at the New York National Academy, the Saltus gold medal of the National Acad emy of Design in 1913, and later various other distinctions. She became a member of the National Academy of Design, New York, in 1902, and is a director of the American Federation of Arts, and a member of Societe des Beaux Arts. Among her por traits are those of Bishop Coadjutor Greer (exhibited at the Salon in 1896) ; Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter; and Mrs. Larz Ander son. Her "Dorothea and Francesca," and "Ernesta and her Little Brother," are good examples of her skill in painting children.
