This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Specializing in pastel portraits, Juliet Thompson was a painter based in New York City but very active in Washington DC. Her early art education was in Washington DC where she attended the Corcoran Art School and the Art Students League of DC. About 1899, she went to Paris to study at the Academie Julian and was a student of Jean Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. She also studied with Kenneth Miller, likely at the Chase School of Art in New York.
In about 1905, she moved back to New York City and set up a studio, but continued her association with Washington DC. She exhibited there in the 1920s and 1930s and maintained a friendship with artist Alice Pike Barney.
Among the paintings of Juliet Thompson was a portrait of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge in 1927 at the White House and likenesses of Presidents Calvin Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson and the Cabinet members of Wilson's administration.

Note June 2005 from Susan Hegarty.
Although her obituary in the NY Times listed Juliet Thompson as a native New Yorker, she was not born in NY, but most likely in Virginia, and was raised in Washington, D.C. As the biography says, she moved to New York sometime around 1905, and spent the rest of her life there, residing first at the National Arts Club, where she had her studio, and then in 1911 moving to 48 W. 10th St., where she lived until her final years.
