Biography
Clara Lane regularly exhibited at the Society of Female Artists and the Royal Academy, usually watercolor works depicting fruit and flowers. She painted portraits of Edward William Lane, her uncle, and James Silk Buckingham, both now in the National Portrait Gallery. Her illustration work included illustrations for Aunt Judy's Tales (1859) by Margaret Gatty, an illustration of Hopkins' poem "The Palimpsest," and the wood engraving of a work by W. Linton for the title page of Hopkins' Hawaii: The Past, Present, and Future of its Island-Kingdom (1862). John Everett Millais used Lane as the model for the seated nun in his painting The Vale of Rest.
Lane (1826–1912) was a painter.
