Beatrice Whistler (also known as Beatrix or Trixie; 12 May 1857 – 10 May 1896) was born in Chelsea, London on 12 May 1857. She was the eldest daughter of ten children of the sculptor John Birnie Philip [1] and Frances Black. She studied art in her father's studio and with Edward William Godwin who was an architect-designer.
Godwin introduced Beatrice to James McNeill Whistler, with whom she studied, and for whom she posed. Her earliest works were small portraits and delicate decorative drawings and watercolors of birds and flowers. From about 1886 she produced a number of small panels, chiefly of girls reading, with plain backgrounds.
