books0977:Love Sonnets (1894). Marie Spartali Stillman (British, 1844-1927).Stillman was a noted ‘stunner’ (the Pre-Raphaelite slang for a good-looking woman) and sat for Rossetti and Burne-Jones as well as the photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. Little of her work seems to have sold. Her favoured subjects were literary-historical figure groups and decorative female heads; landsapes and flower pieces are equally representative though less distinctive. Many of her works draw on Italian literary themes, especially Dante and Boccaccio, as well as depicting Italian landscape. -- source link
