 In later life, widely read biographies of Giacometti and Bacon brought Rawsthorne fame as a model and muse, but unfortunately had the effect of obscuring her main profession.By the 1980s she was better known as a once beautiful siren, or the bon viveur that Bacon partied with and painted as ‘Isabel Rawsthorne’.Since her death, however, serious scholarship has ensued and several paintings have entered public collections.
