She and her cousins [[Maria Zambaco]] and [[Aglaia Coronio]] were known collectively among friends as "the Three Graces", after the [[Charites]] of Greek mythology ([[Aglaea|Aglaia]], [[Euphrosyne (mythology)|Euphrosyne]] and [[Thalia (grace)|Thalia]]), as all three were noted beauties of Greek heritage. It was in the house of the Greek businessman [[A.C. Ionides]] (1810–1890) at Tulse Hill, in south London, that Marie and her sister Christine (1846–1884) met [[James McNeill Whistler|Whistler]] and [[Algernon Charles Swinburne|Swinburne]] for the first time. They were dressed in white with blue ribbon sashes. Swinburne was so overcome that he said of Spartali: "She is so beautiful that I want to sit down and cry".<ref>Robertson, W. Graham. ''Time Was''. (1931) pp.12-13</ref> Marie was an imposing figure, around 1.9 meters tall and, in her later years, dressed in long flowing black garments with a lace hood, attracting much attention throughout her life.
Spartali studied under [[Ford Madox Brown]] for several years from 1864, with his children Lucy, Catherine and Oliver. [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti|Rossetti]], on hearing that she was to become a pupil to Madox Brown, wrote to him (on 24 April 1864), "I just hear Miss Spartali is to be your pupil. I hear too that she is one and the same with a marvellous beauty of whom I have heard much talk. So box her up and don’t let fellows see her, as I mean to have first shy at her in the way of sitting." She first sat for him in 1867. He wrote to Jane Morris on 14 August, "I find her head the most difficult I ever drew. It depends not so much on real form as on a subtle charm of life which one cannot recreate." She was the most intellectual of his models.{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}
She modelled for: Brown; [[Edward Burne-Jones|Burne-Jones]] (''[[:Image:The Mill by Edward Burne-Jones.jpg|The Mill]]''); [[Julia Margaret Cameron]]; Rossetti (''[[:Image:A Vision of Fiammetta by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.jpg|A Vision of Fiammetta]]'', ''[[:Image:Dante's Dream at the Time of the Death of Beatrice by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.jpg|Dante's Dream]]'', ''[[:Image:Rossetti wiese.jpg|The Bower Meadow]]''); and [[John Roddam Spencer Stanhope|Spencer Stanhope]].
