Barbara Nasmyth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Nasmyth (15 April 1790 – 11 February 1870) was a Scottish oil and watercolour painter and educator.[1]
Barbara Nasmyth was the daughter of the artist Alexander Nasmyth.[2][3] Her sisters Jane, Margaret, Elizabeth, Anne and Charlotte were all also artists. Her eldest brother Patrick Nasmyth was a fellow landscapist, and her brother James Nasmyth, was the inventor of the steam hammer.
After the death of her father in 1840, Nasmyth moved to Patricroft, near Manchester, closer to her brother James.[1] Ten years later, in 1850, she moved to London.[1]
