1823-1903.
--
French born British artist
loosely associated pre-raphaelitist.
It wouldn’t be loose if left to me
one of the best in this genre.
Revolution in France in forty eight
Louis Phillippe would abdicate.
Sophia’s family leaving France
in Ohio America taking their chance.
In America she marries a British man
a lifelong marriage began.
Steady work in portraiture
then both began a zig zag tour.
London, New York, London, Capri
Cornwall England finally.
They both died in the same year
for artists and friends many a tear.
