Grace Cheney: A Figure Model for Local Artists

Grace Cheney was a prominent figure in the Bohemian life of San Francisco. She is someone who has been married several times, which makes her framed as someone who falls in love with being in love. When she's 16, she marries a lumber clerk named William Christie and they divorced after just two years in 1911. The thing that drew the line for grace was when William threw a large rock through a window at a piano company where she was working as a secretary.
