Constance Phillott (1842 – 30 March 1931) was a British painter.[1]
Phillott was the daughter of Arthur Phillott, a physician, and Frances Frend, the daughter of William Frend. She got her education at the Royal Academy schools, along with her cousin William Frend De Morgan and his later wife, Mary Evelyn Pickering. Phillott exhibited with a number of societies, including the Royal Academy and the Society of British Artists, and she was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours. There is no trace of her exhibiting after the 1880s, and it is unclear what happened to her at that time.[2]
She sometimes inscribed her work with poetry and lived at 25g Stanhope Street N.W. in London.[3] Her work The Herdsmen of Admetus was included in the book Women Painters of the World. She is known for landscape, portraits and other subjects.[2]
