Ursula is the subject of a 1903 etching by Augustus and held by the National Portrait Gallery, London. Augustus John also made a chalk drawing of her with Gwen John and her sister (and the first wife of Augustus) Ida Nettleship, which is held by the Yale Center for British Art in the Paul Mellon Collection.
