Celebrating the recent birthdays of Rosa Brett & her brother John (7 & 8th Dec) painters of meticulous PRB accuracy.
Rosa, who also painted under pseudonym 'Rosarius', is omitted from the current NPG exhibition, a shame as she is undoubtedly a significant 'Pre-Raphaelite Sister'

The PRS tweeter has just returned from the excellent Pre-Raphaelite Sisters exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery.
Apart from a few caption anomalies it was definitely worth the 400 mile trip down from Scotland!
