1866
University of Wales collection
Rebecca Solomon studied under her brother Abraham, then at the Spitalfields School of Design, and later worked in the studio of Millais (including making a copy of his work Christ in the House of his Parents apparently partly overpainted by Millais himself), and for Burne-Jones in the capacity of a model. From the 1850s through to the end of the 1870s she was a prolific exhibitor at the London galleries, including the Royal Academy from 1852-1869. She produced mainly portraits and history paintings, often with Christian themes, as opposed to her brother Simeon, who in the 1860s illustrated Jewish customs.
