She sat for a pencil portrait by Edward, ca. 1885, and she served as a model for a mermaid in "The Depths of the Sea." (1886). She owned a number of works by him, and was a prominent member of the artistic and literary circle, The Souls. She married Alfred Lyttleton in 1885, but died after childbirth on Easter Sunday, 1888. Burne-Jones designed a memorial plaque to her which is in Mells parish church, in Somerset.
