Juliet Thompson

Thompson was an active member of the community of artists in Washington, D.C.,[3] and painted a centerpiece of the 1897 Cosmos Club annual show.

Paris is where Charles Mason Remey first met Thompson when she was taking classes on the religion from Mírzá Abu'l-Faḍl.

[1] Her work is a main source on ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's journeys to the West when he was in Europe in 1911 as well as some of his travels in the United States in 1912.

At the memorial service held for her at the Baháʼí House of Worship in Wilmette, several notable people spoke or sent messages – several Hands of the Cause and Paul E. Haney, Charles Mason Remey, Horace Holley, and Amelia Engelder Collins, and later Universal House of Justice member Charles Wolcott, as well as many notable Baháʼís.

She was on the Board of Control of The Pastellists founded in 1910, which included Jerome Myers, and Everett Shinn – the president was Leon Dabo.

[24] Among the portraits she created are: Julia Dent Cantacuzène Spiransky-Grant, Hallie Davis, (wife of Stephen Benton Elkins), Rev.

Percy Stickney Grant, Baroness Von Freytag-Loringhoven,[25] Grace Coolidge,[26] ʻAbdu'l-Bahá[5] and Bahíyyih Khánum[27]
