About this person
Mary Beale (née Cradock) (1633-1699) was an English painter who specialised in portrait painting. She was part of a small band of female professional artists working in London. Beale became the main financial provider for her family through her professional work - a career she maintained from 1670/71 to the 1690s. Beale was also a writer, whose prose Discourse on Friendship of 1666 presents a scholarly, uniquely female take on the subject. Her 1663 manuscript Observations, on the materials and techniques employed "in her painting of Apricots", though not printed, is the earliest known instructional text in English written by a female painter.
