Show A British Artist. Mrs. Jopling is perhaps the mo3t famous fa-mous woman artist. Her charming studio is the resort of everybody worth knowing in the world of letters. It is a tall apartment, with white ceiling, barred bar-red with old oak rafters, gray walla, hung here and there with fine tapestry, and over the mantelpiece having Millaia' portrait of Mrs. Jopling, painted by the great R. A. as a gift to his friend and Bister artist. At one side stands the grand piano, at another a handsome cabinet. Near the fire is a table covered with old silver, while it is one of the few studios in which there are plenty of comfortable couches and chairs for guests to sit upon, and not merely ornamental orna-mental objects to paint from. Mrs. Jopling is the most magnetic and fascinating of women. If she was not one of the first artists of her day aud almost al-most unchallenged first of her own sex, she would yet be famous aa a society dame. Still in the prime of life she has been married three times. Her first husband hus-band died when she was only a girl. Mr. Jopling, whose name she has made famous, fa-mous, lived till about three years ago, and she has now been for some time the wife of a very brilliant and clever man, Mr. Rowe, who makes no objection to her still signing her work and being known generally by the name that she has made celebrated. Ha Bays manfully that he is proud to be "Mrs. Jopling's husband." New York Telegram. |
