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]
