A little sketch Of Mrs. Raulston APP
peared not long ago In ARTS For Ameri-
ca" and it recalls her very interesting
career as follows:
Mrs. John B. Raulston, whose exhibi-
ton attracted so much attention, is of
| English birth, and received her early
| education in England and France. She
commenced the study of drawing when
but a child from the South Kensngton
methods, and later under private in
| struction both in st. Orme and London.
| While in London she drew from the
| o11 etc ra
under the direction of artists in the Ma
tional Gallery and the South Kensington
Museum, working both in oil and pastel
She also worked from life under the
direction of Mr.. Walker who was pupil
| of Sir Frederick Leighton.
| About twelve years ago she came to
! Chicago and commenced the study OF
china painting with Mrs. John w. Marsh,
| and having such solid foundation
upon which to build, it is needless to say
that she has advanced rapidly until her
work stands among the first. When Mr..
Aulich opened his classes she became
one of his pupils; this changed her style
somewhat. but style is subject to change
so long as there is any Improvement to
be made.
Mrs. Radlston has been one Of the
members of the Chicago Ceramic Asso-
citation since It's organization, and is at
present its corresponding secretary. The
group of work which is here presented
will give some idea of the variety of style
which she has at her command
She has taken up china painting as
profession, feeling sure that her early
preparation will greatly assist her in
reaching the high standard which she
believes is possible to everyone who is
willing to study the true principles OF art
and apply them Understandings
