Juliet Hutchings Thompson (1873–1956) was an American Bahá'í, painter, and disciple of `Abdu'l-Bahá. She is perhaps best remembered for her Diary published in 1983 and still in print. Within the Diary she describes the wonder of painting a portrait of `Abdu'l-Bahá during his visit to New York in 1912.
Thompson's first show as a portrait painter was at the Knoedler's galleries.[15] Thompson worked as a portrait painter for years in Washington D.C. and later in New York though she also had interests in other arts.
Circa 1898 to 1900 she undertook studies while in France and showed her work while there. On return to the States, Thompson moved to New York circa 1902. 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.
She also donated of her art for support of various causes - an early free clinic, Women's Suffrage, a project for minding children off street life, and relief for women and children in WWI.
Among the portraits she painted are: Julia Dent Cantacuzène Spiransky-Grant, Hallie Davis, (wife of Stephen Benton Elkins), Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, Baroness Von Freytag-Loringhoven, Grace Coolidge, `Abdu'l-Bahá and Bahíyyih Khánum
