Looks like the same lass he martyred (as a Calvinist Covenanter in 1685) near my home
chained to a post in the Solway Firth at low tide, left to drown as the tide flowed in.
I really like this picture
It's interesting, he recycled the bosom of a young lady he'd untied from a tree a little earlier!

Can't be sure if they are all the same woman, but Joan is definitely Sophie Gray, one of his most frequent models and the younger sister of his wife Effie.

it captures the late evening light in Scotland so beautifully,
but it's hard to find a copy on the web that does it justice

Saint Corona!
Yes, there is a Saint Corona! Even more interesting for us, CF members,aAlways out for a historical thrill : she was a true martyr!
During persecutions in Damascus, in 177AD, she heard of a soldier (Sant-Victor) who had been revealed as a Christian, and who was being tortured.
Corona immediately went there, to give him spiritual support.
As she had now revealed her faith, Corona was tied to two palm trees, who had been bent. Then the ropes holding the trees bent, were cut. They violently resumed their original position, thereby ripping Corona apart.
Saint Corona's memory day is on May 14th (together with St Victor). She is particularly celebrated in Bavaria and Austria, where there is a place named Sankt Corona am Wechsel.
Contrarily to nowadays assumptions, she is not the patron saint of those suffering from plague or epidemia, but of the treasure hunters and the gamblers.

It seems, it's worth, that @MICHELE PATRI noticed it.
St.Callista. In Orthodox Calendar - Day Memory 06 \ 19 February.
I will reach it in may))))
She's a different one. And a third on Sept 2nd. But the April 25th Callista seems totally obscure, though she's listed on the calendars.
Found. But this is a Catholic calendar. In Orthodox other dates.
