The above-named picture was sold to the Messrs. Agnew, and was followed by “The Modern Cinderella,” which was seen at the Paris Exposition in 1878; at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876 she exhibited “Five Sisters of York.”

Mrs. Jopling is also known as the founder and president of the Society of the Immortals.  She has written several short tales, some poems, and a book called “Hints to Amateurs.”

At the Royal Academy, 1903, she exhibited “Hark!  Hark! the Lark at Heaven’s Gate Sings,” which is a picture of a poor girl beside a table, on which she has thrown her work, and leaning back in her chair, with hands clasped behind her head, is lost in thought.

JORIS, SIGNORINA AGNESE—­pseudonym, Altissimi.  Was accorded the title of professor at the Institute of the Fine Arts, Rome, 1881.  She was successful in a competition for a position in the Scuole Tecniche, Rome, 1888.  Honorable mention, Florence, 1890; same at Palermo, 1891 and 1892; silver medal of first class and diploma of silver medal, Rome, 1899 and 1900.  Member of the Societa Cooperativa, Rome.  Born in the same city, and pupil of the Institute of Fine Arts and of her brother, Cavaliere Professore Pio Joris.

This artist writes that a list of her works would be too long and require too much time to write it.  They are in oils, pastel, and water-colors, with various applications of these to tapestries, etc.  She also gives lessons in these different methods of painting.  In a private collection in New York is her “Spanish Scene in the Eighteenth Century.”

She painted a “portrait of the late King Humbert, arranged in the form of a triptych surrounded by a wreath of flowers, painted from some which had lain on the King’s bier.”  She sent this picture to Queen Margharita, “who not only graciously accepted it, but sent the artist a beautiful letter and a magnificent jewel on which was the Royal Cipher.”

KAERLING, HENRIETTE. Born about 1832.  Daughter of the artist, J. T. Kaerling, who was her principal teacher.  She practised her art as a painter of portraits, genre subjects, and still-life in Budapest during some years before her marriage to the pianist Pacher, with whom she went to Vienna.  She there copied some of the works of the great painters in the Gallery, besides doing original work of acknowledged excellence.  In addition to her excellent portraits, she painted in 1851 “The Grandmother”; in 1852, “A Garland with Religious Emblems”; in 1855, “A Crucifix Wound with Flowers.”

KALCKREUTH, COUNTESS MARIA. Medal at Chicago Exposition, 1893.  Member of the Society of Women Artists in Berlin.  Born at Duesseldorf. 1857-1897.  Much of her artistic life was passed in Munich.  Her picture at Chicago was later exhibited at Berlin and was purchased for the Protestant Chapel at Dachau.  It represented “Christ Raising a Repentant Sinner”—­a strong work, broadly painted.  Among her important pictures are “In the Sunshine,” “Fainthearted,” “Discontented,” and several portraits, all of which show the various aspects of her artistic talent.
