11 I suggested this before

Steffi (Stefanie) Graf with possible incorrect spelling of her first name? 

Graf (male) or Gräfin (female) is a historical title of the German nobility, usually translated as "count". Considered to be intermediate among noble ranks, the title is often treated as equivalent to the British title of "earl" (whose female version is "countess")

Françoise Dürr ???

Have a read and see if you can make it add up.

//All answers are people/animals, real or imaginary, who have a title or Royal rank somewhere in their name. Not all titles/ranks are from the U.K. They can come from anywhere in the world//

For 48 Naum Gabo is 4,4, although he was more well known as a sculptor rather than for his paintings. I can't see the class link either. Will keep thinking

Eric Gill? Eric comes from a word meaning 'ruler'

[fiction-factory]

Actually there are lots of 4,4, artists- Paul Nash, John Nash, Bill Etty… too much searching

[shaley]

Thank you and yes I totally agree with you fiction-factory
