Ann Mary Newton (c.1862). Ann Mary Newton (English, 1832-1866). Oil on canvas. National Portrait Gallery.Here Newton shows herself staring confidently out at the viewer, leaning on a brown leather-bound folio of drawings. She exhibited the portrait the year after her marriage, aged twenty-nine. She died of measles not long after, a tragic event that was noted by Queen Victoria in her Journal in January 1866: ‘Greatly shocked at the death of Mrs Newton, (Miss Severn) a pretty, clever young artist, who painted several of the family & did also beautiful copies of the Old Masters.’ -- source link
