Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Ann Mary Newton NPG 977

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Ann Mary Newton

Here Newton shows herself staring confidently out at the viewer, leaning on a brown leather-bound folio of drawings. She exhibited the portrait the year after her marriage, aged twenty-nine. She died of measles not long after, a tragic event that was noted by Queen Victoria in her Journal in January 1866: 'Greatly shocked at the death of Mrs Newton, (Miss Severn) a pretty, clever young artist, who painted several of the family & did also beautiful copies of the Old Masters'.
