Cecilia Beaux exhibits six portraits at the Paris Salon of 1896—Rev. Matthew B. Grier, A Lady from Connecticut, Sita and Sarita, Cynthia Sherwood, The Dreamer, and Ernesta Drinker, with Nurse.
On the strength of her showing at the Salon, she is elected the same year to membership in the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.
