Meugens and Kelly were in Paris at the same time and certainly knew each other. Aleister Crowley (Rose Kelly’s husband at the time) mentions a ‘Sybil Muggins’ in Crowley’s ‘Confessions’ and suggests that Kelly almost married her. Meugens is known to have been drawn by Kelly. A painting titled ‘Sybil’ in the RA 1957 exhibition of Kelly’s work, dated 1903 (number 53), may have been the Leicester Galleries version, as it was the same size.
