Wendela Boreel was probably the most brilliant of Sickert's pupils, particularly in the field of etching. She studied at the Slade School of Art in London in 1911 under Henry Tonks and attended Sickert's evening classes at the Westminster Technical Institute. Sickert was so impressed by her work that he arranged for her to take a studio in Mornington Crescent and to be his own pupil-assistant. She was a leading figure among Sickert's female pupils and exhibited with the London Group and the New English Art Club
