Clara Montalba was a painter, the best-known of the four artistically gifted Montalba sisters. Raised in England and educated in Paris and Venice, she exhibited paintings in London's Royal Academy and many other places in England, continental Europe, and America. She was best known for her watercolors, combining delicate tones with careful composition in landscapes, coastal scenes, and various other subjects. She also painted in oils, finished a few book illustrations, and helped Kate Greenaway with her watercolor technique.
