A drawing of Keiller made by Chapman in 1934 is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.[2] The couple became increasingly estranged from the beginning of the war, when the Institute closed, although they would not divorce until 1951. She became a nurse in London and then married again in 1951.[1]
