. . .the
woman
Sargent had
[a] relationship with her right before she got married was Charlotte
Louise
Burckhardt (Lady with the  Rose,
which is hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art . . . I have
read
somewhere that there was even a talk of an engagement. She died so
young,
not long after her marriage, and though she looks very charming to my
eyes
in that painting, she is not attractive at all in the portrait where
she
and her mother was featured together.

"A romance between
Sargent
and Louise,
perhaps initiated by Mrs Burckhardt, developed in the early 1880s and
there
was talk of an engagement, but prospects of a marriage seem to have
evaporated
by the summer of 1883." -- Complete Paintings vol.1 by R. Ormond
p.65
She married Roger
Ackerley
in 1889 .
