Violet Sargent (1870-1955) was John's youngest sister. After studying at the Accademia delle Belle Arti, she married Francis Ormond. Of the three siblings, Violet was the only one to marry and she would have six children (see Genealogy). She, along with her daughters would be featured in so many of John's paintings -- really too long to list (in total) here.
