Lady Maria Bell (née Hamilton ; 26 December 1755 – 9 March 1825) was an English amateur painter (in oils) and sculptor.
Maria Hamilton was born in Chelsea, London , the daughter of William Hamilton, an architect from a Scottish family, and his wife Sarah.[1] William Hamilton RA Joshua Reynolds , whose pictures she copied with much skill. She copied likewise the works of Rubens at Carlton House , including the 'Holy Family,' which was highly commended.[2]
Around 1808 she married Sir Thomas Bell (1751-1824), leather merchant and later sheriff of London , who was knighted in 1816, and whose portrait was engraved by William Dickinson after a painting by her. Between the years 1809 and 1824 she exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere several figure-subjects and portraits, among the latter being in 1816 those of Sir Matthew Wood, 1st Baronet , lord mayor of London, and of her husband. She also practised modelling, exhibiting two busts at the Royal Academy in 1819.[2]
Lady Bell died in Dean Street , Soho , in 1825.
Her own portrait was engraved by Edward Scriven from a miniature by W. S. Lethbridge .[2]
