Note: This panel probably depicts the artist's wife, the artist Christabel Cockerell, Lady Frampton (1864-1951). Frampton married Christabel in 1893 and the couple set up home together at St John's Wood in London. Together they designed a decorative frieze for the interior of the house and Frampton began to design household fittings and jewellery in enamel and precious metals. Frampton mastered a number of techniques in his career, which helped him in his interest in using several media to create work.
