TAYLOR, ELIZABETH V. Sears prize, Boston Art Museum; bronze medal, Nashville Exposition, 1897.  Member of the Copley Society, Boston.  Pupil of E. C. Tarbell and Joseph de Camp in the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

This artist paints portraits in miniature and in life size.  Her works are numerous and have been seen in many exhibitions.

THAULOW, MME. ALEXANDRA. Wife of the great Scandinavian painter.  This lady is an artist in bookbinding and her work is much admired.  A writer, H. F., says, in the Studio, December, 1903:  “When the exhibition of bookbinding was held some time ago at the Musee Galliera, Madame Thaulow’s showcase attracted attention by its variety and its grace.  The charm of these bindings lies in the fact that they have none of the massive heaviness of so many productions of this kind.  One should be able to handle a book with ease, and not be forced to rest content with beholding it displaying its beauties behind glass or on the library shelf; and Madame Thaulow understood this perfectly when she executed the bindings now reproduced here.  But these bindings are interesting not only from the standpoint of their utility and intelligent application; their ornamentation delights one by its graceful interpretation of Nature, rendered with a very special sense of decoration; moreover, the coloring of these mosaics of leather is restrained and fresh, and the hollyhocks and the hortensias, the bunches of mistletoe and the poppies, which form some of her favorite motifs, go to make up a delicious symphony.”

THEVENIN, MARIE ANNE ROSALIE. Medals at the Salons of 1849, 1859, 1861.  Born at Lyons.  Pupil of Leon Cogniet.  Portrait and figure painter.  Among her pictures the following are noticeable:  “Flora McIvor and Rose Bradwardine,” 1848; “Portrait of Abbe Jacquet,” 1859; “Portrait of a Lady,” 1861.

THORNYCROFT, MARY. Born 1814; died 1895.  Daughter of John Francis, the sculptor, whose pupil she was.  This artist exhibited at the Royal Academy when very young.  Her first important work was a life-size figure called “The Flower-Girl.”  In 1840 she married Thomas Thornycroft, and went to Rome two years later, spending a year in study there.  Queen Victoria, after her return, commissioned her to execute statues of the royal children as the Four Seasons.  These were much admired when exhibited at the Academy.  Later she made portrait statues and busts of many members of the royal family, which were also seen at the Academy Exhibition.
