Biography

Rosina Cox Boardman studied with Alice Beckington, who painted her star pupil’s portrait in miniature [see 1965.30.7]. Like many other female artists of her age, Boardman also studied briefly with the artist William Merritt Chase. The leading prize awarded by the American Society of Miniature Painters, the Levantia White Boardman Memorial Medal, was named after the artist’s mother, and Rosina herself won the prize in 1947 and 1949.
