A report published in 1907 said that: the famous "Offor Heads" are known the world over. Indeed, it may be said that Miss Beatrice Offor is one of the most popular artists of the day, her pictures are eagerly sought after, and publishers vie with one another for the honour of giving her works to the public.〔 Her paintings were shown regularly at the Royal Academy of Arts. She often used her sisters as models, often painting brides〔 and nude women.〔http://strangetears.wordpress.com/2012/05/28/beatrice-offor-1864-1920/〕 She also painted portraits of the British members of parliament, Joseph Howard and Sir Ralph Littler.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Beatrice Offor 1864–1920 )〕 She painted a copy of Perugino's ''Virgin and Child'' for Tottenham Parish church.〔 For some time she was based in Chelsea〔; article reprinted from ''The Young Woman''.〕 – the Royal Academy catalogues give an address in the King Road from 1899 - – but following her second marriage,〔 to a fruit importer named Beavan,〔 she moved to Bruce Grove, Tottenham, in North London. She suffered a nervous breakdown in 1919, and died on 7 August 1920 from injuries sustained after falling from a window.A verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was returned at the inquest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beatrice Offor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
