Highly recommend
Cecilia Beaux has been overlooked in recent years and that is a crying shame. She is the only portrait painter who could rival-- and sometimes exceed-- Sargent. Get this book and see for yourself. Even though most of the pictures are not in color, you get a real sense of her talent. Highly recommend!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
