During the 1950s and '60s, she was the muse and inspiration for many artists of the Soho subculture, including Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon, and known for her marriages and love affairs.

Famous quotes containing the word henrietta:
“I often think that all the difficulties we encounter only give us the more strength if we keep hold of our work, and we must not now give up while in the prime of life. It is best to keep trying, and by and by the opportunity will come. If we have given up, then we shall not be ready for it when it does come.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
