Mrs. Brown Potter was an American socialite and stage actress, who came to sit for her portrait at Mortimer Menpes' Cadogan Gardens studio on many occasions. She was such a popular subject for Menpes that when his Beautiful Women exhibition opened in 1899, one critic coined the show ‘The Apotheosis of Mrs Brown Potter'. (Art Gallery of South Australia)
