It was well hung at the Pennsylvania Academy and was considerably noticed…” Les derniers jours d’ enfance by Cecilia Beaux (1883-1885) “…At this time, I did a study of a friend which resulted in my making myįirst entrance into the doubtful field of the Exhibitions. At this time Cecilia was concentrating on her portraiture and as she wrote in her biography she even decided to try and have a work of hers included in an exhibition: It was unsupervised as the visits by William Sartain had ended due to the long commute he had to make to get from New York to Philadelphia in order to examine and review the ladies’ work. These classes went on for two years but in 1883 Cecilia got her own studio on Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and the class moved there where they did unsupervised life drawings.
………….the year is 1881 and Cecilia Beaux had started to attend classes organised by a former schoolfriend and their work had been periodically critiqued by the painter William Sartain. Self portrait by Cecilia Beaux (c.1889-1894)
