Biography
Lily Digges by Curtois

Curtois was born at Branston in Lincolnshire and studied art at the Lincoln School of Art and also in London and in Paris at the Académie Julian.[1][2] She exhibited at a number of London galleries including, between 1887 and 1902, at the New Gallery and also showed six works at the Royal Academy.[2][3] Between 1887 and 1928 Curtois also exhibited works with the Society of Women Artists.[4]

Curtois lived at Washingborough Manor near Lincoln and in London, until later in life when she moved to Little Missenden in Buckinghamshire where she was an active member of the Buckinghamshire Art Society.[1] Both the Usher Gallery in Lincoln and Canterbury Museums and Galleries hold examples of her work.[5] Her sister, Ella Rose Curtois was a sculptor.[1][4]

gollark: Quite a lot of the time I don't care a massive amount about performance, as long as my thing isn't horrendously slow, because it's serving not very much traffic on a server with quite a lot of free resources.
gollark: Well, it is harder to have to semi-manually manage memory than to have it garbage collected, and it has issues like being stuck in the middle of moving to asynchronous code right now.
gollark: (praise Rust™, although I still find it somewhat harder to write stuff in than JS or whatever so I only use it for my more perf-sensitive projects)
gollark: Like Rust's `Option`, which is optimized to use null pointers or something, meaning it's basically only a compile-time performance cost.
gollark: There are *low-cost* ones.
