(Notes: Anne Mee, née Foldsone (1765–1851) was one of the few women portrait miniature artist, she was however, very prolific English miniature painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. She began to paint at age 12, with tuition from George Romney, and after her father died in 1784, did so to support her family. Anne Mee exhibited occasionally at the Royal Academy between 1815 and 1837. She died at Hammersmith, 28 May 1851)
