Exposition.
British artist Marie Seymour Lucas was born in Paris and studied art in Paris, London, and Germany. Her birth name was Maria Elizabeth Cornelissen, but she evidently painted and exhibited under the name "Marie Cornelissen" as well as under "Mrs. John Seymour Lucas" after she married the historical painter by that name in 1877. No other information is available online. (Note: Some sources seem to be confusing Maria Elizabeth with her daughter "Mary Ellen.")

Born in England, Clara Montalba was part of a family of painters and sculptors, including her Swedish painter-father. She and her sisters began exhibiting at the Royal Academy during the 1870s. After studying in Paris with Isabey and in Venice, she became internationally recognized through her European and American exhibitions. She was particularly known for her watercolors of fishing boats, coastal areas, and Venice, where she lived at the end of the century.Biography

Daughter of a clergyman, Emily Mary Osborn studied art in London privately and at Dickinson's Academy, perhaps also in Munich. By age seventeen, she was exhibiting at the British Royal Academy; soon she was receiving commissions, and one of her paintings was purchased by Queen Victoria. Her popular "Nameless and Friendless" painting touchingly portrays the distress of the poor woman artist treated with leers or skepticism when she trespasses on the public (male) world of buying and selling.

Kate Dickens Perugini, the youngest surviving and reputedly favorite daughter of the Victorian novelist Charles Dickens, was known for her genre paintings and portraits. After her first husband (artist Charles Allston Collins, the brother of novelist Wilkie Collins) died in 1873, she married artist Charles Edward Perugini who nurtured Kate's development as an artist. By 1877, Kate was exhibiting at the Royal Academy and enjoying artistic society, including friends such as George Bernard Shaw and J.M. Barrie. Kate and her second husband collaborated on some paintings such as Flossie (above).

Henrietta Rae was born in London and began studying art at age thirteen at the Queen's Square School. Further studies were undertaken at Heatherley's, the British Museum, and the Royal Academy Schools where she had to apply at least a half-dozen times before finally being accepted (she eventually won a seven-year scholarship). She became a well-known Victorian artist, exhibiting often. Her magnum opus was Psyche at the Throne of Venus, a 12ft x 7ft composition, but she also painted melodramatic literary subjects, nudes, portraits, and genre pictures like Doubts (see above) showing a courting couple. She married artist Ernest Normand. At the 1893 Exposition, she won at least one medal.Biography/ 6 images
