  1. "A Knock at the Door," Laura Theresa Alma-Tadema, 1897.

    I've featured Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema before, but not his wife Laura (1852-1909). Nearly half her husband's age, she nonetheless had a successful career as a painter and illustrator in her own right.

    Her general style wasn't far from her husband's, and she specialized in sentimental scenes of childhood and domestic life, generally depicting the Netherlands in the 17th century, a result of being very influenced by painters of the Dutch Golden Age.

    From the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, NH.
