Rosa Corder

She was the lover of Charles Augustus Howell, who is alleged to have persuaded her to create forgeries of drawings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

She trained as a portrait painter under Felix Moscheles and Frederick Sandys and exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Grosvenor Gallery.

[1][2][3] Her portrait of Edward Bouverie Pusey was considered "the best likeness" of the scholar by the editors of his collected works and was engraved as the frontispiece to his biography.

She had wonderful hair – like a fair pale veil, a white waxen face and a very good figure; and she wore very odd clothes.

[10] Drawings derived from Rossetti's stained-glass window designs depicting the story of Saint George and the Dragon are attributed to her.
