Waterford

Waterford, LOUISA, MARCHIONESS OF (1818–91), was ranked by G. F. Watts as one of the greatest real artists of our time in virtue of her pictures ('Spring,' 'Christmas,' 'The Miracle of Healing the Two Blind Men') at Ford Castle, Northumberland, and her book-illustrations. She was the daughter of Lord Stuart de Rothesay, and widow of the third Marquis of Waterford. Nearly 350 of her drawings were exhibited in 1892. See A. J. C. Hare, Two Noble Lives (1893).
