EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate and exquisite miniature portrait of Mary Berry, an influential English non-fiction writer. Painted by the talented artist Samuel Percy, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. Mary Berry's life was filled with adventure and exploration as she embarked on various travels across Europe. Accompanied by her father and sister, she journeyed to Holland, Switzerland, and Italy in 1783. Three years later, she returned to England through France before venturing to Paris in 1802. Her wanderlust led her further to Nice, Switzerland, and Germany. As a friend of Horace Walpole - a prominent figure during that era - Mary Berry's journals and correspondence provided invaluable insights into the social life of both England and France. This miniature portrait captures her essence perfectly; wearing an elegant bonnet with half-length oval framing. The intricate details within this artwork not only highlight Mary Berry's beauty but also symbolize her passion for travel and writing. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable achievements made by women during that time period. With its historical significance combined with artistic brilliance, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the extraordinary life of Mary Berry while celebrating her contributions as an accomplished authoress and writer.
