It was t unusual for young ladies of the late Victorian era to take to art with a passion and flamboyance that brought them either fame or toriety. Eulabee Dix (1878-1961) attracted both. She painted the last portrait of Mark Twain from life, as well as miniatures of Ethel Barrymore, the Countess of Warwick and her titled friends, and Hollywood and New York luminaries. Her own beautiful miniatures and portraits of Dix by Robert Henri, John Sloan, Charles Hawthorne, Frederick Church, John Butler Yeats, and Gertrude Kasebier illustrate the life of a woman who fought fiercely for 20th-century viability of an art form that had endured since the Middle Ages.
