Laura Theresa Alma-Tadema (née Epps; 16 April 1852 London – 15 August 1909 Hindhead)
was an English painter specialising in domestic and genre scenes of
women and children. She was, from 1871, the second wife of the painter Lawrence Alma-Tadema.As well as frequently being painted by her husband after their marriage (The Women of Amphissa of 1887 being a notable example), she is also shown in a seated statuette by Amendola in 1879, a bust by Jules Dalou in 1876, and a portrait by Jules Bastien-Lepage.She specialised in highly sentimental domestic and genre scenes of women and children, often in Dutch 17th-century settings and style, like Love's Beginning, Hush-a-bye, The Carol, At the Doorway (c.1898, shown right) and Sunshine..
She did paint some classical subjects and landscapes akin to those of her husband, but in general her main influence was 17th-century Dutch art, which was a far less restrained influence in her work than his. She also numbered her work chronologically by giving them Opus numbers, as did her husband.
