Emma Sandys was born in Norwich, where her father, Anthony Sands (1806–1883), gave her some early art lessons. In 1853 the family added a ‘y’ to their surname. She was influenced by her brother Frederick Sandys (1829–1904), one of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and his friend Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Her earliest dated painting is marked 1863, and she exhibited her works in both London and Norwich between 1867 and 1874.[2] Her works were mainly portraits in both oil and chalk of children and of young women, often in period clothing, against backgrounds of brightly coloured flowers.[3] Sandys created most of her work around Norwich, but may have spent time in the studio of her brother, Frederick Sandys, in London. She died in Norwich in November 1877.[4]
