Rachel & Laura Gurney


Rachel Gurney (later the Countess of Dudley) and her sister Laura (later Lady Troubridge) were frequent visitors to Little Holland House in Kensington in their childhood days, as this house was the home of their grandfather Henry Thoby Prinsep who set up an artists and photographer's studio here. The house became the workshop of famous Victorian era artists such as G.F.Watts, and Henry's sister-in-law Julia Margaret Cameron. This is a picture of the two Gurney sisters by Watts.
