WOLTERS, HENRIETTA, family name Van Pee.  Born in Amsterdam. 1692-1741.  Pupil of her father, and later made a special study of miniature under Christoffel le Blond.  Her early work consisted largely in copies from Van de Velde and Van Dyck.  Her miniatures were so highly esteemed that Peter the Great offered her a salary of six thousand florins as his court painter; and Frederick William of Prussia invited her to his court, but nothing could tempt her away from her home in Amsterdam.  She received four hundred florins for a single miniature, a most unusual price in her time.

WOOD, CAROLINE S. Daughter of Honorable Horatio D. Wood, of St. Louis.  This sculptor has made unusual advances in her art, to which she has seriously devoted herself less than four years.  She has studied in the Art School of Washington University, the Art Institute, Chicago, and is now a student in the Art League, New York.

She has been commissioned by the State of Missouri to make a statue to represent “The Spirit of the State of Missouri,” for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

Mrs. Woodbury paints in oils and water-colors; the latter are genre scenes, and among them are several Dutch subjects.  She has painted children’s portraits in oils.  Her pictures are in private hands in Boston, New York, Chicago, and Cincinnati.  “The Smoker,” and “Mother and Daughter,” a triptych, are two of her principal pictures.

WOODWARD, DEWING. Grand prize of the Academy Julian, 1894.  Member of Water-Color Club, Baltimore; Charcoal Club, Baltimore; L’Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs de France.  Born at Williamsport, Pennsylvania.  Pupil of Pennsylvania Academy a few months; in Paris, of Bouguereau, Robert-Fleury, and Jules Lefebvre.

Her “Holland Family at Prayer,” exhibited at the Paris Salon, 1893, and “Jessica,” belong to the Public Library in Williamsport; “Clam-Diggers Coming Home—­Cape Cod” was in the Venice Exhibition, 1903; one of her pictures shows the “Julian Academy, Criticism Day.”

She has painted many portraits, and her work has often been thought to be that of a man, which idea is no doubt partly due to her choosing subjects from the lives of working men.  She is of the modern school of colorists.
