Anna Alma-Tadema was the second
daughter of the Dutch-born artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912) and his
mother and step-mother were also artists. She painted mainly flowers, portraits
and interiors with great attention to detail like her father.
Her father’s biographer Helen Zimmern
describes her as a `delicate, dainty artist who has inherited much of her
father’s power for reproducing detail’ (see Helen Zimern, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, R.A., 1902, p.8.
