112) Laura Theresa Alma-Tadema

Laura Theresa Alma-Tadema (née Epps; 1852 – 1909). English painter specialising in domestic and genre scenes of women and children. She was, from 1871, the second wife of the painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

 - "The daughter of a doctor, Laura was a seventeen-year-old redhead — tall, slim, elegant, educated, musical, and interested in art — and the 33-year old Lourens Tadema fell in love with her." https://thehammocknovel.wordpress.com/tag/marie-pauline-gressin-dumoulin/

- "According to the art dealer Ernest Gambart, Alma-Tadema fell in love with the red-haired Laura at first sight." http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3279/1/2012CalvertPhD.pdf
