About this person

Esther Inglis (1571-1624) was a miniaturist and skilled in calligraphy, writing, and embroidering. She was born in 1571 in either London or in Dieppe and moved to Scotland, where she was raised and married. Sharing similarities with Jane Segar, Inglis always signed her work and frequently included portraits of herself in the act of writing. Inglis successfully established a career based on manuscript books created for royal patrons.Over the course of her life, Inglis completed around sixty miniature books that display her calligraphic skill with paintings, portraits, and embroidered covers. She mostly dedicated her books to the monarchs, Elizabeth I and James VI and I, and people in power during their reign. She died around 1624, at the age of 53.
