Dorothy Tennant
Dorothy Tennant (22 March 1855, in Russell Square, London – 5 October 1926) was a Victorian neoclassicist painter.[1]
She was the second daughter of Charles Tennant (1796-1873) and Gertrude Barbara Rich Collier (1819–1918). She studied painting under Edward Poynter at the Slade School of Fine Art and with Jean-Jacques Henner in Paris.[2][3]
In 1890, she married the explorer of Africa, Henry Morton Stanley,[1] and became known as Lady Stanley. She edited her husband's autobiography,[1] reportedly removing any references to other women in Stanley's life.
After Stanley's death, she married Henry Jones Curtis (died Feb. 19, 1944), a pathologist, surgeon and writer, in 1907.[4]
She was also an authoress and illustrated several books,[5] including "London Street Arabs", 1890.[6]
