Always Welcome, from "Illustrated London News" May 19, 1888 William Biscombe Gardner Laura Epps became a student of Lawrence Alma-Tadema in 1870 and married the Dutch-born painter the following year. This image of a sick mother comforted by her daughter appeared in the "Illustrated London News" with a Grovenor Gallery review in May 1888. Laura absorbed from the husband an ability to bring history to life, but focused on seventeenth-century Holland rather than classical Greece and Rome.
