Janie Wilkinson Whyte
Janie Wilkinson Whyte was a painter, etcher, and wood-carver who studied at the National Gallery School from 1890–1895 and took lessons in etching from John Mather. Her etchings were published in The Lone Hand in 1907 as some of the earliest works in this field made by women. Whyte was an impressionist artist who painted portraits, figure studies, and landscapes, and was one of the first Melbourne women to paint dockyard scenes. She also painted interiors and flowers, and worked with oils, watercolours, and pastels. Her cityscapes contained charming observations of Melbourne life.
