Milein Cosman, artist and illustrator, best known for her drawings and prints of leading cultural figures, dancers and musicians in action.

From Holocaust Remembrance: "Milein Cosman was born into a Jewish family in 1921 and grew up in Düsseldorf, attended school in Switzerland and moved to England in 1939 to attend the Slade School of Fine Art in Oxford. On moving to London in 1945 she established herself as a freelance artist, working for the Radio Times and various other national and international publications. In 1947 she started to work for the Radio Times where she met and later married the writer and broadcaster, Hans Keller and they settled in Hampstead, London."

From Apollo Magazine, talking about her husband, she "drew him hundreds of times, almost always while he worked at his desk. She called him her ‘Madame Bonnard’. ... They collaborated often, producing several books about music together (he wrote the words, she drew the pictures)..."
