Biography

Carew is documented as having received a pension of 100 pounds for "copying the king's pictures in miniature" from Charles II of England after the Restoration in 1662. [2] The pension was raised to 200 pounds 10 days later. [3] [4] Though she was paid for miniature copies of portraits, no known works survive in the Royal Collection. [5]

Carew's works follow the style of the popular court miniature painter, Samuel Cooper. She was probably related to the artist Richard Carew. [5]
