This is Evelyn De Morgan

Evelyn De Morgan (30 August 1855 – 2 May 1919), née Pickering, was an English painter joined early in her career in imitation of the difficult phase of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement. Her paintings are figural, foregrounding the female body through the use of spiritual, mythological, and allegorical themes. They rely on a range of metaphors (such as well-ventilated and darkness, transformation, and bondage) to freshen what several scholars have identified as spiritualist and feminist content. She boycotted the Royal Academy and signed the Declaration in Favour of Women’s Suffrage in 1889. Her forward-looking works also pact with the themes of charge from a pacifist perspective, engaging as soon as conflicts in the atmosphere of the Second Boer War and World War I.
