Eugênia Infante da Câmara (c. 1860).

Eugênia Infante da Câmara (1837–1874) was a Portuguese actress, poet, author and director of plays, active in both Portugal and Brazil. As well as for her own artistic achievements, she is remembered for her affair with, and influence upon, the Brazilian poet Castro Alves. She was born in Lisbon, on April 9, 1837, and died in Rio de Janeiro on May 28, 1874.[1]
