1729–1807
A talented miniaturist and writer, she moved in the lively artistic world around her brother Sir Joshua Reynolds while quietly building a creative life of her own.
Born in 1729, she was the youngest daughter of the Reverend Samuel Reynolds and Theophilia Potter, and the sister of the painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. She is remembered as an English miniaturist and as part of the wider Reynolds family circle that played a notable role in 18th-century British art and culture.
Her own artistic work included miniature painting, and she is also associated with literary interests and writing. Although she is often mentioned in connection with her famous brother, she had a creative identity in her own right and remained part of the cultural life of her time until her death in 1807.
