Catherine Read

Catherine Read (or Katherine) (1723—1778), was a Scottish portrait-painter
==Life==
Read was born in Scotland, on the 3rd of February, 1723, one of thirteen children of an affluent Forfarshire family. She may have received her education in Edinburgh. Her uncle was John Wedderburn of Blackness, whose daughters were cared for by Read after his execution.〔Miss Katherine Read, Court Paintress, A. Francis Steuart, ''The Scottish Historical Review'', Vol. 2, No. 5 (Oct., 1904), pp. 38-46 ((abstract ))〕
Read was for some years a fashionable artist in London, working in oils, crayons, and miniature. From 1760 she exhibited almost annually with either the Incorporated Society of Artists, the Free Society of Artist, or the Royal Academy, sending chiefly portraits of ladies and children of the aristocracy, which she painted with much grace and refinement.〔

Read's talent for portraiture was highly regarded in her day, and was the subject of an epistle by Tobias Smollett:
Let candid Justice our attention lead,

to the soft crayon of the graceful Read.

and praised by William Hayley.〔
Miss Read resided in St. James's Place, London until 1766, when she removed to Jermyn Street. In 1771 she went to India with her niece, Helena Beatson, a clever young artist, who there married, in 1777, (Sir) Charles Oakeley, bart., governor of Madras.〔 She is reported as being in that country in 1775 and 1777, and as dying at sea near Madras.〔
Her death is recorded as 15 Dec. 1778.〔
