Mary Emma Jones, also known as Miss Clive. Actress, model and common-law
wife of painter, illustrator and draughtsman Anthony Frederick Augustus
Sandys (1829 - 1904).
They met in 1862, when she modeled for
The Magdalen, but
since he was already married with Georgiana Creed, he took her as his
common-law wife for the rest of his life. She gave birth to a large
number of children, 10 of whom were raised under the name of Neville and
survived after Sandys' death.
She modeled for many paintings and
drawings (both for Sandys and his sister Emma), such as
Proud Maise,
Helen of Troy, Perdita, Love's Shadows, etc.
