She died when sixty-three and was buried in the church of St. Sulpice.  I translate the lines written by the Abbe Bosquillon and placed beneath her portrait:  “The unusual possession of two exquisite talents will render Cheron an ornament to France for all time.  Nothing save the grace of her brush could equal the excellencies of her pen.”

Pictures by this artist are seen in various collections in France, but the larger number of her works were portraits which are in the families of her subjects.

CHERRY, EMMA RICHARDSON. Gold medal from Western Art Association in 1891.  Member of above association and of the Denver Art Club.  Born at Aurora, Illinois, 1859.  Pupil of Julian and Delecluse Academies in Paris, also of Merson, and of the Art Students’ League in New York.

Mrs. Cherry is a portrait painter, and in 1903 was much occupied in this art in Chicago and vicinity.  Among her sitters were Mr. Orrington Lunt, the donor of the Library of the Northwestern University, and Bishop Foster, a former president of the same university; these are to be placed in the library.  A portrait by Mrs. Cherry of a former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Mr. O. Chanute, is to be placed in the club rooms of the society in New York.  It has been done at the request of the society.

An exhibition of ten portraits by this artist was held in Chicago in 1903, and was favorably noticed.  Mrs. Cherry resides in Houston, Texas.

CLEMENT, ETHEL. This artist has received several awards from California State fair exhibits, and her pastel portrait of her mother was hung on the line at the Salon of 1898.  Member of San Francisco Art Association and of the Sketch Club of that city.  Born in San Francisco in 1874.  Her studies began in her native city with drawing from the antique and from life under Fred Yates.  At the Cowles Art School, Boston, and the Art Students’ League, New York, she spent three winters, and at the Julian Academy, Paris, three other winters, drawing from life and painting in oils under the teaching of Jules Lefebvre and Robert-Fleury, supplementing these studies by that of landscape in oils under George Laugee in Picardie.

Her portraits, figure subjects, and landscapes are numerous, and are principally in private collections, a large proportion being in San Francisco.  Her recent work has been landscape painting in New England.  In 1903 she exhibited a number of pictures in Boston which attracted favorable attention.
