In July, 1903, in his article on the Royal Academy Exhibition, the editor of the Magazine of Art, in enumerating good pictures, mentions:  “Miss Lucy Kemp-Welch’s well-studied ‘Village Street’ at dusk, and her clever ‘Incoming Tide,’ with its waves and rocks and its dipping, wheeling sea gulls.”

Mr. Frederick Wetmore, in writing of the Spring Exhibition of the Royal Painter Etchers, says:  “Miss Kemp-Welch, whose best work, so delicate that it could only lose by the reduction of a process block, shows the ordinary English country, the sign-post of the crossways, and the sheep along the lane.”

KENDELL, MARIE VON. Born in Lannicken, 1838.  Pupil of Pape, Otto von Kameke, and Dressier.  She travelled in England, Italy, and Switzerland, and many of her works represent scenes in these countries.  In 1882 she painted the Cadinen Peaks near Schluderbach, in the Ampezzo Valley.  At the exhibition of the Women Artists in Berlin, 1892, she exhibited two mountain landscapes and a view of “Clovelly in Devonshire.”  The last was purchased by the Emperor.  To the same exhibition in 1894 she contributed two Swiss landscapes, which were well considered.

KIELLAND, KITTY. Sister of the famous Norwegian novelist, Alexander Kielland.  Her pictures of the forests and fjords of Norway are the best of her works and painted con amore. Recently she exhibited a portrait which was much praised and said to be so fresh and life-like in treatment, so flexible and vivacious in color, that one is involuntarily attracted by it, without any knowledge of the original.

KILLEGREW, ANNE. Was a daughter of Dr. Henry Killegrew, a prebendary of Westminster Cathedral.  Anne was born in 1660, and when still quite young was maid of honor to the Duchess of York, whose portrait she painted as well as that of the future King James II.  She also painted historical subjects and still-life.

One of her admirers wrote of her as “A grace for beauty and a muse for wit.”  A biographer records her death from smallpox when twenty-five years old, “to the unspeakable reluctancy of her relatives.”  She was buried in the Savoy Chapel, now a “Royal Peculiar,” and a mural tablet set forth her beauty, accomplishments, graces, and piety in a Latin inscription.

Anne Killigrew was notable for her poetry as well as for her painting.  Dryden wrote an ode in her memory which Dr. Johnson called “the noblest our language has produced.”  It begins:  “Thou youngest virgin daughter of the skies.”  After praising her poetry Dryden wrote: 

    “Her pencil drew whate’er her soul designed,
    And oft the happy draught surpassed the image of her mind.”

Of her portrait of James II. he says: 

    “For, not content to express his outward part,
    Her hand called out the image of his heart;
    His warlike mind—­his soul devoid of fear—­
    His high designing thoughts were figured there.”
