In a letter of Jenny Marx to Kate Freiligrath of 24 dec.1868 we find a concise description: "a strange little woman, ugly and shapeless, but full of live and spirit. She is called Mrs. Vivanti, she married an italian and she is a fervent admirarer of Dante, whom she knows very well. She reminds me of that woman that Balzac portrays in the Recherce de l'Absolu".
