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.
Beatrix studied art in her father's Chelsea studio and with Godwin. On her marriage, she worked in the studio-workshop, and collaborated on furniture and house designs. She would have met Whistler about 1876, when she and Godwin visited "Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room".
