Rosalie Clarke married Reginald Brill in 1925. She served as her husband’s model throughout the early years of their marriage. In 1927 she accompanied him during his two-year scholarship in Decorative Painting at the British School in Rome. Rosalie was an accomplished artist herself, with a particular propensity for flower subjects. She exhibited occasionally at the Royal Academy.
