Netta (Picomette) Peacock (born 1864/7 Sunderland – 1938), was an English art writer and photographer who became involved in Russian art circles during the fin de siecle.
[1] Peacock wrote about Russian traditional crafts[2] and artwork[3] and published several books about Western painters.
[4] Netta Peacock's photographic works form a remarkable record of pre-revolutionary Russia, documenting different classes of society.
Little is known about the photographer herself; she was the daughter of Sunderland ship broker Reginald Peacock and his Dutch wife Jacoba, and close friends with artists Maria Vasilievna Yakunchikova and Yelena Dmitrievna Polenova.
A collection of her photographs is held by The Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
