18th-century English painter (1680-1744)
Maria Verelst (1680-1744) was supposedly an English artist born in Vienna and died in London after a career of portrait painting. This biography has been questioned with archival evidence supporting the view that “Maria Verelst” was Adriana Verelst, a fashionable portrait painter of the 1720s.
