Edward Burne-Jones - Baronne Deslandes
1895-6
A friend of Oscar Wilde and mistress of Maurice Barres - said to receive her admirers on a bed of Lilies. A noted author of her time and a leading Aesthete.
She served me yesterday in a shop. I tried to be mildly friendly when I handed her the money but she stared back with her mouth in plaster to prevent a smile.
