Showcases the work of successful seventeenth-century British artist Mary Beale who ran her own studio practice.

Accompanying a major exhibition at Philip Mould & Company, Fruit of Friendship: Portraits by Mary Beale presents the work of the remarkable seventeenth-century woman artist.

Mary Beale (1633-1699) was Britain's first woman artist to run a successful studio practice. In an era when the arts in Britain were flourishing and portraitists were in high demand, Beale established a unique practice that set her apart from her competitors and brought her great acclaim.

Friendship and family played a crucial role in Beale's success. She was the figurehead of her family and studio, while her husband dedicated himself to supporting the business, often preparing paints and canvasses. Beale's portraits, many of which are illustrated here for the first time, build a picture of a talented and multi-faceted woman--artist, writer, businesswoman, mother, and friend.

The title of this publication and of the accompanying exhibition is drawn from Beale's own writings, and the materials presented span her entire career. Featuring essays by leading scholars, the book introduces a number of recently discovered portraits by Beale and showcases several important works that have never been publicly displayed before.
