The Pattle sisters   
Well-known family of 'beauties', whose parents died in India in distressing circumstances (see England's Michelangelo, Ch.7). They included Sara Prinsep, mother of Val Prinsep, who also accommodated Watts at Little Holland House for so many years; Virginia, who married Lord Eastnor, one of Watts' patrons; and (the ugly one) Julia Margeret Cameron (1815 - 1879), the celebrated pioneer of photography.
