Sophie Anderson was born in Paris but spent much of her early life in America, where she met and married her husband, the English artist Walter Anderson. She exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy between 1855 and 1896, but from 1871 sent works from Capri where she moved for the sake of her health. This appealing child was probably a native of the island.
