Three women come to mind for me...
Ceclia Beaux...I just saw the Henry Drinkard portrait near some other great portraits including a Sargent and it (the Beaux) looked majestic! Really loose and strong brushwork...I loved it!
Bettina Steinke...Also loose and strong, we only recently lost her. Another of my heroes.
Rosa Bonheur...her cattle, horse and sheep paintings should count as portraits! I can't even figure how she stretched the canvases!!
