Millais
A Jersey Lily - http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/a-jersey-lily-137280 - 'Born Emilie Charlotte le Breton in St Saviour’s Rectory, Jersey, Lillie Langtry went on to become a great society beauty and later a well-known actress. Her lifestyle challenged the social codes of her day, and she was at once both famous and infamous. Millais’ portrait of Langtry (holding what is in fact a Guernsey lily) was one of the most celebrated paintings of its day. It was displayed at the Royal Academy in 1878 where crowds thronged to see it. A policeman was assigned to guard the painting.'
