Biography
Born in
Paris Salon of 1869.[2] She was elected as an associate of the National Academy of Design in 1873, but never became a full member, missing out by one vote in 1876.[1] Nevertheless, she continued showing at the Academy, where she had first exhibited in 1866 and 1867; having taken a break until 1871, she rarely missed an annual thereafter until 1905. Exhibiting as Mrs. Henry Augustus Loop, she established herself as a portraitist, especially of children,[2] although she also painted a few idealized genre pieces of children as well.[1] Her portrait in the National Academy collection is by her husband. She died in Saratoga, New York in 1909.[2]
The Loops had four daughters; Edith also became a painter.[2]
