Considered by many to be the finest woman painter active in America at the beginning of the twentieth century, Beaux was not only technically masterful in her rich, vigorous manipulation of paint and her subtle orchestration of color, but also as a keen observer and an innovative designer. By 1902 Beaux was recognized as one of the top portrait painters in America. In Philadelphia from 1895 to 1915, she had an appointment at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the first woman teacher to be hired in a full-time position. She also spent much time in New York City and was close friends with William Merritt Chase, Abbott Thayer, and Childe Hassam.
