I was not able to find any examples of her work. Fox is such a common name that I would not be too quick to attribute this to her without more information/research. Probably doesn't matter much who this is by. Most pastels sell fairly reasonably with a bit more following for those signed [I]Chandler[/I]. Otherwise, one needs to evaluate based on the quality of the art, size, and framing. I think yours compares nicely to some of the best from the period. Here are completed sales from ebay for antique pastels for comparison.
