Henrietta Mary Ann Skerrett Montalba (8 April 1848 – 14 September 1893) was a British sculptor, born into a renowned family of artists.
Her last work was of a more ambitious nature, being a life-size figure of "A Venetian Boy Catching a Crab," executed in bronze, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1893, and at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, in the same year.
[2] Her marble bust of Richard Burchett, headmaster of the South Kensington Schools, has been transferred to the new building of the Royal Academy of Art, along with its setting designed by George Clausen.
She was on terms of friendship with her fellow-student Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, who painted a portrait of her and presented it to the Canadian Academy of Arts in Ottawa (now in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada).
[4] Henrietta was rarely separated from her family, living in later days chiefly in Venice, and making frequent visits with them in Italy, Sweden, and elsewhere.
