Portraitist Lydia Emmet is especially known for her juvenile
subjects. Born in New Rochelle, New York, she was one of ten
children. Emmet learned to draw informally by herself in spite of
the painting traditions of her family.
At eighteen, she
traveled to Paris with her sister, Rosina Emmet Sherwood, and studied
at the Julian Academy. On her return, she worked as an
illustrator of books and magazines, experimented with watercolors and
oil landscapes, and did mini (showing 500 of 5167 characters). |
