a dramatic background. She was born in
Jamaica, where her family we're immensely
rich plantation owners involved in the rum,
sugar and slave trades. II is a matter of
record that Pinke's mother, another Elizabeth
Barrett, left her father, Charles Moulton,
because of her bitterness over his alliances
with native women and the three separate
households he maintained for them.
His Tyranny Made History
After Moulton's death the mother took her
children to London to be educated, reSuming,
as the condition of an inheritance, her maiden
name. 1t has been suggested there were two
reasons for Pinkies brother Edward to have
grown into strait-laced deSpot whose tyranny
made history. One was that he had been born
into plantation world where a mans family
as well as his slaves were his chattelS. The
other was his violent reaction to the amoral,
SenSuous life he had observed during his child
hood in Jamaica.
But the radiant Pinkie, as Lawrence painted
her, almost floats on air, forever lifted above
her murky background, as buoyantly poised
against a blue sky as the Raphael Madonnas
particularly the world-famouS Sistine
Madonna) which Lawrence SO deeply admired.
The artist was only Is when she posed for him,
but already one of the most fashionable paint
