Curzona Frances Louise (Lily) Allport (18 July 1860 – 29 April 1949) was a Tasmanian artist. She was born in Tasmania to Morton Allport, a solicitor and photographer, and Elizabeth Ritchie. As a child, Allport received drawing lessons from her grandmother, the artist Mary Morton Allport who is considered the first professional female artist in the Australian colonies. Determined to pursue a career in art, Allport moved to England in 1888 with her mother Elizabeth and sister Eva. Initially supported by a yearly allowance from her mother and brothers, Allport shortly became financially self-sufficient through sales of her prolific works including oil paintings, watercolours, pastel drawings and relief prints. In Europe she studied with renowned artists including Hubert Vos and Charles Wellin
