About
Cornelia Field Maury was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1866. Her family had owned a theatre in St. Louis, Missouri. She studied at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts (a part of Washington University in St. Louis) and the Académie Julian in Paris. She studied in France with Jules Joseph Lefebvre, Raphaël Collin, Benjamin Constant, Jean-Paul Laurens, Luc-Olivier Merson, and Jules Dupré. She was a member of St. Louis Artists' Guild and Society of Western Artists. In 1899, Maury was exhibiting her work at the St. Louis Artists' Guild. Her work "Mother and Child" was hung in 1900 at the Salon des Artistes Francais.
