Maria Verelst (1680–1744) was a Dutch artist working in Britain in the first half of the 18th century. Her works can be found at Audley End. It was unusual for a woman to be a professional artist at this time and many of Verelst’s paintings have previously been misattributed to her male contemporaries. During the recent conservation of three Verelst portraits at Audley End, we have looked closely at the artist’s processes and learnt more about how her technique can be distinguished from other artists of her time.
