. . .the woman Sargent had
[a] relationship with her right before she got married was Charlotte Louise
Burckhardt (Lady with the  Rose,
which is hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art . . . I have read
somewhere that there was even a talk of an engagement. She died so young,
not long after her marriage, and though she looks very charming to my eyes
in that painting, she is not attractive at all in the portrait where she
and her mother was featured together.

"A romance between Sargent and Louise,
perhaps initiated by Mrs Burckhardt, developed in the early 1880s and there
was talk of an engagement, but prospects of a marriage seem to have evaporated
by the summer of 1883." -- Complete Paintings vol.1 by R. Ormond p.65
She married Roger Ackerley in 1889 .
