I’m particularly taken with Beaux’s use of white and black in her portraiture. Like Sargent she had a real feel for the drama of light and dark. Her warm whites really captivate, don’t they? The Man With The Cat is a great example, as are Lady George Darwin, Sita and Sarita and Mrs. Larz Anderson. (https://artoutthewazoo.com/2012/07/13/cecilia-beaux/)
