23 November 2018: Jackie Banergee reports that Christa Zaat, who has a splendid set of pages on Facebook about women in art, suggests, first, that the photo might have been taken at the national Training School in London where she studied Edouard Lanteri, and, second, that the other women in the picture are Lilian M. Simpson, Esther Moore, Ruby Levick, Margaret Giles, and Lady Ethel Alice Chivers Harris.
